Ingredients
4 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
8 oz cream cheese (softened)
2 cups fresh spinach (chopped)
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp Italian seasoning
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare chicken: Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a pocket into the side of each chicken breast without slicing through.
Make the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, spinach, mozzarella, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Stuff chicken: Fill each chicken breast with the creamy mixture and secure the opening with toothpicks.
Sear chicken: Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown.
Bake: Pour chicken broth around the chicken in the skillet. Drizzle lemon juice over the top. Transfer to the oven and bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Finish: Remove from oven, sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the top, and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Toothpicks: Make sure to secure the chicken well to keep the filling inside.
Rest time: Let the chicken rest after baking to retain juices and make slicing easier.
Filling ideas: You can swap spinach for sautéed mushrooms or add sun-dried tomatoes for variation.
Serving suggestions: Pair with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a crisp green salad.
