Main Ingredients

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 cups fresh spinach
1/2 cup cream cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2 cloves garlic minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Carefully butterfly each chicken breast by slicing it horizontally without cutting all the way through. Season with salt and pepper.
In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant, then add spinach and cook until wilted.
Remove the spinach from heat and combine with cream cheese and mozzarella in a bowl. Mix until well combined.
Fill each chicken breast with the spinach mixture. Secure with toothpicks if needed.
Place the stuffed chicken breasts in a baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes, until chicken is cooked through.
Ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F.
Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving to retain juices.
Slice and serve the chicken with your choice of side dishes.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
