Ingredients

– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 cup roasted red peppers, chopped
– 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
– 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– Fresh basil leaves, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Creating Savory Stuffed Chicken with Roasted Red Peppers, Spinach, and Mozzarella is simple. Follow these straightforward steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped roasted red peppers, spinach, mozzarella cheese, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until well blended.
3. Stuff the Chicken: Using a sharp knife, create a pocket in each chicken breast. Carefully fill each pocket with the vegetable and cheese mixture.
4. Sear the Chicken: In an oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, and sear them for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
5. Bake in the Oven: Once seared, transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for an additional 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted.

These steps will guide you effortlessly through the cooking process, providing you with a dish that is both delicious and impressive.
