Ingredients

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup frozen spinach
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheese (use your favorite type)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a baking dish by coating it lightly with cooking spray.

  2. Prepare Chicken: Butterfly each chicken breast by slicing horizontally through the middle, leaving one edge intact so it can be opened like a book.

  3. Prepare Spinach Filling: In a small saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add frozen spinach and cook until spinach is wilted and any excess moisture has evaporated.

  4. Combine with Cheese: Remove the spinach mixture from heat and stir in the shredded cheese until well combined.

  5. Stuff the Chicken: Divide the spinach and cheese mixture evenly between the two chicken breasts, placing it on one half of each breast. Fold the other half over the filling and secure with toothpicks if necessary. Season the top of each chicken breast with salt and pepper.

  6. Bake: Place the stuffed chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. If there’s any remaining spinach mixture, you can spread it on top of the chicken breasts. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.

  7. Serve: Once cooked, remove the toothpicks if used, and serve the Spinach Stuffed Chicken hot, alongside rice and a fresh salad.
