Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 2 tbsp olive oil For searing the chicken
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese For topping

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Carefully cut pockets in each chicken breast.
  3. In a bowl, mix together cream cheese, spinach, mozzarella, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning until well combined.
  4. Generously stuff each chicken pocket with the mixture and secure the openings with toothpicks.
Cooking
  1. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
  2. Sear both sides of the chicken for 3–4 minutes until golden brown.
  3. Pour chicken broth around the chicken, drizzle with lemon juice, and bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  4. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the chicken right after removing it from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Chicken breasts must be pounded thin for even cooking. Swap the spinach with kale for a twist or sneak in some sun-dried tomatoes for extra flavor.
