Ricotta Spinach Stuffed Chicken



Juicy chicken breasts filled with a creamy ricotta-spinach mixture, then baked to perfection — a delicious and impressive meal!

Ingredients:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup ricotta cheese

1 cup fresh spinach, chopped

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 clove garlic, minced

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a bowl, mix ricotta cheese, chopped spinach, mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.

Cut a pocket into the side of each chicken breast, being careful not to slice all the way through.

Stuff each chicken breast with the ricotta-spinach mixture and secure with toothpicks if needed.

Season the outside of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the stuffed chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden.

Transfer the chicken to a baking dish and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until cooked through.

Let rest for a few minutes before serving.
