Description
Juicy baked chicken breasts filled with a creamy spinach, feta, and mozzarella stuffing—easy, delicious, and perfect for any night.
Ingredients
For the Chicken:
4 chicken breasts (approximately 2 lbs)
4 oz fresh baby spinach
4 oz cream cheese
2 oz feta cheese crumbles
2 oz shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tbsp olive oil
For the Seasoning:
2 tsp paprika
1 tsp cumin powder
1 tsp salt
½ tsp chili powder
Instructions
Preheat the Oven:
Set oven to 400ºF (200ºC).
Prepare the Seasoning:
In a small bowl, mix paprika, cumin, salt, and chili powder. Set aside.
Make the Stuffing:
Roughly chop baby spinach.
In a mixing bowl, combine spinach, cream cheese, feta, and mozzarella. Massage the mixture with your hands until it forms a thick, uniform paste.
Stuff the Chicken:
Slice a deep pocket into each chicken breast without cutting all the way through.
Divide the stuffing into 4 parts and fill each chicken breast.
Secure the pocket with toothpicks to prevent cheese from oozing out during baking.
Season and Bake:
Brush the chicken on both sides with olive oil and rub in the seasoning mix.
Place on a baking sheet or dish and bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes (internal temp should reach 165ºF/74ºC).
