Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the Chicken: Make a deep cut along the side of each chicken breast to create a pocket. Be careful not to cut all the way through.
- Stuff the Chicken: Stuff each chicken breast with equal amounts of roasted red peppers, fresh spinach, and shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Secure the Openings: If necessary, secure the openings of the stuffed chicken breasts with toothpicks to keep the filling from spilling out during cooking.
- Season the Chicken: In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Brush this mixture over both sides of the chicken breasts for added flavor.
- Bake the Chicken: Place the stuffed chicken breasts in a baking dish and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) with no pink remaining.
Notes
- Add More Flavor: Include crumbled feta cheese or goat cheese with the mozzarella for a tangy twist.
- Herb Variations: Fresh herbs like basil or parsley can be added to the stuffing for extra freshness.
- Serving Suggestion: Serve alongside a light pasta or a side salad for a complete and healthy meal.
