Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breasts
• 0.5 cup Sun-dried tomatoes (chopped)
• 1 cup Fresh spinach leaves (chopped)
• 0.75 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 12 pieces Toothpicks

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Using a sharp knife, cut a pocket into the side of each chicken breast without slicing all the way through.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, chopped fresh spinach, shredded mozzarella cheese, and minced garlic. Mix well to form the stuffing.

Step 4

Stuff each chicken breast pocket with the tomato-spinach mixture, making sure not to overfill. Close the pocket using toothpicks to secure the filling.

Step 5

Rub both sides of the chicken breasts with olive oil, then sprinkle them evenly with Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear each chicken breast for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.

Step 7

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 8

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

Step 9

Serve warm with your favorite side dish, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad. Enjoy!
