Tender chicken breasts filled with a rich mixture of cream cheese, spinach, artichokes, and cheese. Pan-seared and oven-baked to perfection, this dish is creamy, satisfying, and surprisingly easy to make.
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon paprika
Salt and black pepper, to taste
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup cooked spinach (or ¾ cup frozen, thawed and well-drained)
1 cup chopped artichoke hearts
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice chicken horizontally to butterfly. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika.
In a bowl, mix cream cheese, spinach, artichokes, mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Stuff each chicken breast and secure with toothpicks.
Heat oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high. Sear chicken 3–4 minutes per side.
Transfer to baking dish. Bake for 18–22 minutes or until internal temp reaches 165°F.
Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
