Author: Taneisha Morris

Ingredients

  • 4 Large Chicken Breasts
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 3-4 Cloves Garlic minced
  • 2 - 3 cups Baby Spinach
  • 4 tbsp Sun-Dried Tomatoes
  • 1 cup Mozzarella Cheese shredded
  • 1 tbsp Italian Seasoning
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • 1/2 tsp Salt more or less to taste
  • 1/4 tsp Black Pepper more or less to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Prep your stuffing ingredients. Shred the mozzarella cheese. Rinse and dry the baby spinach. Mince some fresh garlic. Cut up your sun-dried tomatoes.
  • Place the chicken on a cutting board. With a sharp knife, carefully make a pocket into your chicken breast.
  • Season the chicken, inside and out, with Italian seasoning, salt and black pepper.
  • Layer the inside pockets of your chicken with the minced garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, mozzarella cheese and spinach. Secure the opening with toothpicks if needed.
  • Heat olive oil in a cast iron pan or skillet over medium heat.
  • Pan-sear the chicken on both sides for 3-4 minutes each, or until golden brown.
  • Remove the cast iron pan or skillet from the stovetop and place it in the oven until the chicken breasts are fully cooked (10-15 minutes). Time varies depending on the size of the breast.
  • Remove from the oven, and enjoy!

Notes

If you don't have Italian seasoning, you can use a blend of whatever dried herbs you have - thyme, oregano, parsley, basil etc.!
