Ingredients

Scale

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • 1 cup shredded or sliced mozzarella

  • ½ cup roasted red peppers, chopped

  • 3 cups fresh baby spinach

  • 2 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 tbsp olive oil (plus more for brushing)

  • 1 tsp salt

  • ½ tsp black pepper

  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning

  • ½ tsp smoked paprika

  • Optional: fresh parsley or basil for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

  • Sauté garlic in olive oil, then add spinach. Cook until wilted. Let cool slightly.

  • Combine spinach with mozzarella and chopped red peppers.

  • Butterfly each chicken breast and season inside and out.

  • Stuff with filling and secure with toothpicks if needed.

  • Sear each side in a hot skillet (optional), then transfer to a baking dish.

  • Bake for 25–30 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F internally.

  • Let rest 5 minutes, garnish, and serve.

Notes

  • Use low-moisture cheese to avoid soggy results.

  • Add sun-dried tomatoes or olives for extra Mediterranean flavor.

  • Can be made ahead and stored refrigerated before baking.
