Ingredients

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 4 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 toothpicks

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Prepare the filling by combining the softened cream cheese, chopped spinach, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper in a mixing bowl. Stir until the mixture is evenly combined.

Step 3

Take the chicken breasts and carefully slice a pocket in the thickest part of each breast using a sharp knife, being careful not to cut all the way through.

Step 4

Stuff the prepared filling into each chicken pocket, dividing it evenly between the two breasts. Use toothpicks to secure the pockets closed.

Step 5

Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the stuffed chicken breasts, searing them for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Step 6

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake the chicken breasts for 18-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Step 7

Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Carefully remove the toothpicks before serving.

Step 8

Plate the stuffed chicken breasts and serve them with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or a creamy mashed potato.
