Today we have a simple and delicious recipe for chicken breast stuffed with spinach and cheese:

Ingredients:

4 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
Salt and pepper to taste
2 cups fresh spinach, washed and drained
1 cup ricotta cheese
One cup mozzarella cheese, grated
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
2 cloves garlic, minced
Olive oil
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (mixture of basil, oregano, thyme)

Preparation:

Preheat the oven to 200°C.

Wash and season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper to taste.

In a frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped garlic and spinach. Cook the spinach until it wilts. Remove from heat and place spinach in a bowl.

Add the ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese to the wilted spinach. Mix well until you obtain a homogeneous mixture. You can season with salt and pepper to taste.

Open each chicken breast in half, creating a pocket without cutting completely.

Place the stuffed chicken breasts on a baking sheet.

Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.

Remove chopsticks before serving.

Ready! Serve the spinach and cheese stuffed chicken breasts with your favorite side and enjoy a delicious meal.
