Wowza, this is one incredible meal. It's like pizza-topping-stuffed chicken breasts, and it's one of the easiest dishes you'll ever make.
Let's face it, we all need new ideas for plain chicken - and this one is super versatile. I stuffed the chicken with sun-dried tomatoes, spinach and mozzarella, but you could also add your favorite pizza toppings, like mushrooms, olives, pepperoni, and bell peppers. Check out how easy this is:
Chicken Breasts Stuffed with Spinach, Mozzarella and Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Cooking spray
4 bone-in chicken breast halves with skin
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups baby spinach leaves
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup thinly sliced oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes
4 ounces mozzarella cheese, cut into thin slices (I prefer creamy whole milk mozzarella or fresh mozzarella for this recipe)
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Coat a shallow roasting pan with cooking spray.
Cut a pocket into each chicken breast half, just above the bone. Set aside.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the spinach and cook until wilted (about 30 seconds). Remove from heat and season the spinach with salt and pepper.
Stuff the spinach into the chicken, along with the sundried tomatoes and cheese. Transfer the stuffed chicken to the prepared pan and season the top with salt and pepper.
Roast for 25 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.
Serves 4
