Ingredients
4 boneless chicken breasts
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp paprika
2 tbsp olive oil
For the Filling
1 cup roasted red peppers, sliced
2 cups fresh spinach
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp cream cheese (optional, for extra creaminess)
Instructions
Prepare the Chicken
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Carefully slice a pocket into each chicken breast without cutting all the way through.
Season Well
Rub the chicken with olive oil, then season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Make the Filling
In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the garlic and spinach until wilted. Remove from heat and mix with roasted red peppers, mozzarella, and cream cheese if using.
Stuff the Chicken
Fill each chicken breast generously with the spinach and cheese mixture. Secure with toothpicks if needed.
Roast to Perfection
Place the stuffed chicken in a baking dish and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken is golden and fully cooked through.
Serve & Enjoy
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. Pair it with roasted potatoes, rice, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
