Ingredients

Chicken Breasts (boneless, skinless)4
Fresh Spinach1 cup
Mozzarella Cheese (shredded)1/2 cup
Parmesan Cheese (grated)1/4 cup
Garlic (minced)2 cloves
Dried Basil1 teaspoon
Dried Oregano1/2 teaspoon
Salt1/2 teaspoon
Black Pepper1/4 teaspoon
Olive Oil2 tablespoons

Instructions

1Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2In a bowl, combine the chopped spinach, shredded mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the spinach filling.
3Lay the chicken breasts flat on a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to cut a horizontal slit into the side of each chicken breast, creating a pocket for the filling. Be careful not to cut all the way through.
4Stuff each chicken breast with an equal amount of the spinach filling, pressing it gently into the pocket. Secure the opening with toothpicks, if necessary.
5Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the stuffed chicken breasts to the skillet.
6Cook the chicken for about 3-4 minutes on each side until browned.
7Transfer the skillet with the chicken to the preheated oven. Bake for approximately 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
8Remove the skillet from the oven and allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes.
9Carefully remove the toothpicks before serving.
10Serve the Keto Spinach-Stuffed Chicken Breasts hot and enjoy!
