Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 180g each)
  • 100g fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • 100g soft goat cheese
  • 80g mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Wooden toothpicks for securing

Instructions

1

Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).

2

Heat butter in a small pan over medium heat, add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add chopped spinach and sauté for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

3

In a bowl, combine the wilted spinach, goat cheese, and half of the shredded mozzarella. Mix until well combined.

4

Using a sharp knife, cut a deep horizontal pocket into each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through.

5

Season the inside and outside of each chicken breast with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and Italian herbs.

6

Divide the cheese and spinach filling evenly among the four chicken breasts, stuffing it into the pockets. Secure the openings with wooden toothpicks.

7

Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the stuffed chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.

8

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F) when measured with a meat thermometer at the thickest part.

9

Remove from oven, top each chicken breast with remaining mozzarella, and return to oven for 2-3 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.

10

Remove toothpicks, let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve alongside fresh spring salad or steamed vegetables.
