Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 6 ounces each)
  • 1 cup fresh spinach chopped
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the chopped spinach, cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  3. Using a sharp knife, create a pocket in each chicken breast by slicing horizontally, being careful not to cut all the way through.
  4. Stuff each chicken breast with the spinach and cheese mixture, securing the opening with toothpicks if necessary.
  5. In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the stuffed chicken breasts and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  6. Drizzle the lemon juice over the chicken, then transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  8. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
