5Creamy Garlic Spinach Stuffed Chicken
A delightful, easy, and satisfying low carb meal packed with flavor.
How to make it
- 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This helps ensure even cooking for your chicken.
- 2
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Carefully slice a pocket into the thickest part of each chicken breast. Be careful not to slice all the way through to the other side.
- 3
In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, fresh spinach, minced garlic, and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix everything together until it is well combined and creamy.
- 4
Evenly stuff the cream cheese and spinach mixture into the pockets of each chicken breast. You can use a spoon or your hands for this step.
- 5
Heat a tablespoon of olive oil (or butter) in an oven safe skillet over medium high heat. Sear the stuffed chicken breasts for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until they are golden brown. This creates a lovely crust and locks in flavor.
- 6
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Let it rest for a few minutes before serving to keep it juicy.
