Servings: 4 servings
Equipment
- Oven-proof Skillet
- Toothpicks
Ingredients
Chicken
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
Filling
- 1 cup roasted red peppers, sliced
- 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Take the chicken breasts and butterfly them by slicing them horizontally but not all the way through. Open them like a book.
- Season both sides of the chicken with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
- On one side of each chicken breast, place some roasted red peppers, a handful of spinach, and a good amount of mozzarella cheese.
- Fold the chicken over the stuffing and secure it with toothpicks.
- Heat olive oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken on both sides until golden, about 3-4 minutes for each side.
- Transfer the skillet to your oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
- Remove the toothpicks and serve hot.
Notes
This stuffed chicken is delightful on its own, but you can serve it with a side of rice or a fresh salad for a complete meal. Drizzling a little balsamic glaze on top can also add a nice touch!
