Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (optional topping)
  • Toothpicks for securing

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add spinach and sauté until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. In a bowl, mix cream cheese, Parmesan, onion powder, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, pepper, and the cooled spinach mixture.
  4. Cut a pocket into the side of each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through.
  5. Stuff each breast with the cream cheese mixture and secure with toothpicks if needed.
  6. Place chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Optionally, top with shredded mozzarella.
  7. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  8. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Remove toothpicks and enjoy.

Notes

  • Use thawed frozen spinach (squeezed dry) as an alternative to fresh.
  • Add chopped sun-dried tomatoes or herbs to the filling for extra flavor.
  • Pairs well with roasted veggies, salad, or cauliflower mash.
