Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon of olive oil
3 cups of fresh spinach
1 cup of grated cheese (You can choose mozzarella, cream cheese, or a mix of your favourites)
2 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 teaspoon of paprika
Cook Time: 40 Mins | Servings: 4
Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Lay your chicken breasts on a cutting board and with a sharp knife, slice them lengthwise to create a pocket, being careful not to cut right through.
-
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic, sauté until fragrant, then add the spinach. Sauté until wilted. Take off the heat and mix in your grated cheese. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
-
Generously fill each chicken pocket with the spinach and cheese mixture. Use toothpicks to secure it if needed.
-
Season the outside of the chicken with salt, pepper, and paprika for a flavour and colour boost. Place the stuffed chicken breasts on a baking tray lined with parchment paper or lightly greased.
-
Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until chicken is cooked thoroughly. Remember, cooking time depends on the size of the breast. So, make sure the chicken is no longer pink in the middle, and it’s reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
Voila! There you have your stunning and scrumptious Spinach and Cheese Stuffed Chicken. Serve it up with a simple green salad, seasoned rice, or roasted veggies, and you have a beautifully balanced meal full of nutrients and flavour.
