Baked Stuffed Chicken Breast With Creamy Spinach

This baked stuffed chicken breast recipe is a delicious and flavorful way to enjoy a classic protein. The creamy spinach filling is easy to prepare and adds a tasty twist to the traditional chicken dish. To make the filling, you’ll start by heating up some extra virgin olive oil in a pan and adding in minced garlic and chopped white onion. Cook these ingredients until the onion is translucent, then add in some frozen chopped spinach and cook until it’s fully thawed. Next, add in some Greek yogurt cream cheese (or a reduced fat or goat cheese alternative), along with cumin, fresh dill, and a pinch of sea salt and pepper. Mix all of these ingredients together until the cream cheese is fully melted and the filling is smooth and creamy.
To prepare the chicken, pat it dry with a paper towel and then carefully slice down the side of each breast to create a deep pocket. Be sure not to slice all the way through, as you want the top to stay attached. Next, stuff each chicken breast with a few tablespoons of the creamy spinach mixture, and then season the top with a pinch of sea salt and pepper. Stuffing chicken helps to add so many flavors to the dish. Place the stuffed chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and lightly spray the top of each breast.
Bake the chicken in the oven at 410F for 22 to 25 minutes, or until it’s fully cooked through. To help brown the top of the chicken, you can set the oven to broil for the last 1 to 2 minutes of cooking. Once the chicken is fully cooked, it’s ready to be served and enjoyed. This baked stuffed chicken recipe makes enough stuffed chicken breasts for four servings, so you can easily adjust the quantities if you need to make more or fewer. With its creamy spinach filling and perfectly cooked chicken, this chicken breast recipe is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
