Spinach Stuffed Chicken Breast

Ingredients

• 4 chicken breasts approximately 2 lbs.


• 4 oz. fresh baby spinach


• 4 oz. cream cheese


• 2 oz. feta cheese crumbles


• 2 oz. shredded mozzarella cheese


• 2 tbsp. olive oil

Seasoning ingredients:

• 2 tsp. paprika


• 1 tsp. cumin powder


• 1 tsp. salt


• 1/2 tsp. chili powder

Instructions

• Mix all of the seasoning ingredients together and set aside.


• Roughly chop the baby spinach and place it into a mixing bowl. Add the cream cheese, feta, and mozzarella. Massage the spinach with your hands, until well combined (it should look like thick paste).


• Using a sharp knife, cut a pocket into the side of each chicken breast.


• Divide the spinach stuffing into four equal parts and spoon it into the chicken pockets. Using toothpicks, secure the stuffing inside.


• Generously season the chicken with the spice mix and brush with olive oil on both sides.


• Bake the chicken in a preheated oven at 400ºF for 25-30 minutes, depending on how large your chicken breasts are.
