This is a great dish for the whole fam and makes a nice switch up from the usual dinner plate. The stuffing here makes the chicken extra moist and flavorful.
INGREDIENTS
Stuffing:
- 1/2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 large yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups spinach, chopped
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 4 chicken breasts
- Salt
- Italian seasoning
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
DIRECTIONS
- Preheat your oven to 450 degrees.
- In a large saute pan add 1/2 Tbsp of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add onions and garlic. Saute until onions are translucent, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the spinach, salt and pepper.
- Slice a pocket into each chicken breast. Be careful not to cut all the way through to the other side. It should open like a pita pocket. Sprinkle both sides of each chicken breast with salt and Italian seasoning. Stuff each with the vegetable mixture.
- Add 2 Tbsp olive oil to the saute pan. Over medium-high heat brown each side of the chicken for 90 seconds. Transfer chicken breasts to a 7 x 11 glass baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink.
