Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup roasted red peppers, sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Using a sharp knife, make a deep cut along the side of each chicken breast to create a pocket. Be careful not to cut all the way through.
- Fill each chicken breast pocket with equal portions of roasted red peppers, fresh spinach, and shredded mozzarella cheese.
- If needed, secure the opening of each chicken breast with toothpicks.
- In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Brush this mixture generously over both sides of the chicken breasts.
- Place the stuffed chicken breasts in a baking dish. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink inside.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
