Description

A delightful dish featuring tender chicken breasts stuffed with a creamy spinach filling, perfect for busy weeknights or special occasions.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your skillet over medium heat.
  2. In a bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, fresh spinach, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  3. Carefully cut a pocket into each chicken breast and stuff with the spinach filling.
  4. Heat olive oil in the skillet; sear the stuffed chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes on each side.
  5. Reduce heat to low, cover the skillet, and cook for an additional 5 minutes.

Notes

Ensure cream cheese is softened for easier mixing. Avoid overcooking the chicken; internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
