Ingredients
  

Chicken
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (basil, oregano, thyme mix)
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup spinach (fresh or frozen, thawed and drained)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

  3. Cut pockets into chicken breasts and stuff with the cream cheese mixture.
  4. Heat olive oil in a skillet, sear chicken for 3-4 minutes per side until golden, then sprinkle remaining mozzarella on top.
  5. Transfer skillet to oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
