A delightful creamy spinach and sun-dried tomato stuffed chicken recipe that combines rich flavors and comforting textures.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 8 ounces mozzarella cheese, sliced
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Salt to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut a deep pocket into each chicken breast. Season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
  2. In a bowl, combine spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, cream cheese, and minced garlic. Stuff each chicken breast with the mixture and add slices of mozzarella. Secure with toothpicks if necessary.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 3 to 4 minutes per side until beautifully golden.
  4. Melt butter in a saucepan. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant. Pour in chicken broth and cream. Stir in parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Simmer until smooth and creamy.
  5. Place the chicken in a baking dish. Pour the cream sauce around and partially over the chicken. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and the cheese is melted.
  6. Broil for 2 to 3 minutes until the top becomes golden and bubbly. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Pat the spinach dry if using frozen spinach to prevent excess moisture.
  • Use freshly grated parmesan for a richer sauce.
  • Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before slicing for cleaner portions.
  • For a lighter version, replace half of the cream with milk and increase the spinach.
  • This recipe is naturally gluten-free when using certified gluten-free broth and seasonings.
