Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1/2 cup artichoke hearts, chopped
- 1/2 cup cream cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for cooking
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Using a sharp knife, make a pocket in each chicken breast by slicing horizontally through the thickest part of the breast. Be careful not to cut all the way through.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped spinach, artichoke hearts, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
- Stuff each chicken breast with the creamy spinach and artichoke mixture, then secure the openings with toothpicks.
- Heat olive oil in an ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the stuffed chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they turn golden brown.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through, and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Remove the toothpicks before serving. Garnish with extra Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
