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).
