Ingredients
  

  • 4.0 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1.0 cup fresh spinach, chopped
  • 0.5 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 0.5 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 3.0 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2.0 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1.0 tbsp fresh basil, chopped
  • 1.0 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.25 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 2.0 tbsp olive oil
  • 0.5 cup chicken broth
  • None pieces Lemon wedges

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped spinach, cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, minced garlic, parsley, basil, thyme, black pepper, salt, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix until well combined and creamy.
  • Carefully butterfly each chicken breast by slicing it horizontally, ensuring not to cut all the way through.
  • Generously spoon the herb and cheese filling into each butterflied chicken breast. Fold the chicken over to enclose the filling and secure with toothpicks.
  • In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the stuffed chicken breasts and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  • Carefully pour the chicken broth into the skillet around the chicken. Bring it to a gentle simmer, then transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Once baked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes. Discard toothpicks. Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side.

Notes

Serve with lemon wedges and a side of roasted vegetables or salad.
