Description
This delicious stuffed chicken is filled with a creamy spinach mixture, making it a quick and tasty meal.
Ingredients
- 4 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- Garlic powder (optional)
- Olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and chopped spinach; season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of garlic powder if you’re feeling adventurous.
- Carefully slice each chicken breast horizontally to create a pocket for all the filling.
- Stuff each chicken breast generously with the creamy spinach mixture.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the stuffed chicken breasts for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they are beautifully golden brown.
- Transfer the seared chicken to a baking dish and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked.
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving to keep all those flavors intact!
Notes
Pat chicken dry for better searing. Do not overstuff to avoid spilling during cooking.
