Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large chicken breasts (butterflied and pounded to an even thickness)
  • 1 cup fresh spinach (chopped)
  • ½ cup canned artichoke hearts (drained and chopped)
  • ½ cup cream cheese (softened)
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Optional: Red pepper flakes or mozzarella for variation

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine spinach, artichokes, cream cheese, Parmesan, garlic, and seasoning. Mix well until smooth.
  3. Butterfly each chicken breast and pound to an even thickness. Place 2-3 tablespoons of filling in the center of each. Fold the chicken to seal and secure with toothpicks if needed.
  4. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Sear the stuffed chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  5. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  6. Remove toothpicks before serving.
