Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil for cooking

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a bowl, mix the chopped spinach, cream cheese, mozzarella, garlic, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  3. Carefully slice a pocket into each chicken breast, taking care not to cut all the way through.
  4. Stuff each pocket with the spinach mixture, pressing lightly to secure the filling.
  5. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Brown the chicken breasts for 4-5 minutes on each side.
  6. Transfer the chicken to a baking dish and bake for 20 minutes or until cooked through.
  7. Let rest for a few minutes before serving, then enjoy your delicious meal!

Notes

For extra flavor, add herbs like basil or thyme to the filling. Customize by mixing in sun-dried tomatoes or artichokes. Serve with a side of quinoa or cauliflower rice for a complete meal.
