# Needed Ingredients:
→ Main Components
01 -
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
02 -
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
03 -
2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
04 -
1 teaspoon garlic powder
05 -
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
06 -
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
→ For Cooking
07 -
2 tablespoons olive oil
08 -
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
09 -
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
→ Finishing Touch
10 -
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
# Preparation Steps:
01 -
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Using a sharp knife, create a pocket in each chicken breast without slicing through.
02 -
Combine softened cream cheese, chopped spinach, shredded mozzarella, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning in a bowl. Mix until thoroughly blended.
03 -
Evenly fill each chicken pocket with the prepared cheese and spinach mixture. Use toothpicks to secure the openings and prevent filling from escaping during cooking.
04 -
Heat olive oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium heat. Place chicken breasts in the skillet and sear for 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown.
05 -
Pour chicken broth around the chicken in the skillet and drizzle with fresh lemon juice. Transfer the uncovered skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
06 -
Immediately after removing from the oven, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the chicken. Allow to rest for 5 minutes before removing toothpicks and serving.
# Supplementary Details:
01 -
Allow stuffed chicken breasts to rest after baking to retain juiciness and make removal of toothpicks easier.
