Savory Stuffed Chicken with Roasted Red Peppers, Spinach, and Mozzarella: An Incredible 7-Step Recipe


  • Author: Olivia Turner
  • Total Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 cup roasted red peppers, diced
– 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
– 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Toothpicks or kitchen twine for securing chicken


Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your Savory Stuffed Chicken with Roasted Red Peppers, Spinach, and Mozzarella:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking dish by lightly greasing it.

2. Prepare Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine diced roasted red peppers, chopped spinach, minced garlic, shredded mozzarella cheese, and Italian seasoning. Mix until well combined and set aside.

3. Prepare Chicken Breasts: Carefully slice each chicken breast horizontally to create a pocket. Do not cut all the way through; you want to maintain the integrity of the chicken.

4. Stuff Chicken Breasts: Generously fill each chicken pocket with the prepared filling. Secure the openings using toothpicks or kitchen twine to hold the filling inside during cooking.

5. Season Chicken: Rub the outside of the stuffed chicken breasts with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper for added flavor.

6. Bake: Place the stuffed chicken breasts in your prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

7. Rest and Serve: Remove the chicken from the oven and allow it to rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help keep the juices inside the chicken.
