Ingredients

  4

• 
  Fresh Spinach

  1 cup

• 
  Mozzarella Cheese (shredded)

  1/2 cup

• 
  Parmesan Cheese (grated)

  1/4 cup

• 
  Garlic (minced)

  2 cloves

• 
  Dried Basil

  1 teaspoon

• 
  Dried Oregano

  1/2 teaspoon

• 
  Salt

  1/2 teaspoon

• 
  Black Pepper

  1/4 teaspoon

• 
  Olive Oil

  2 tablespoons

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In 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.
3. Lay 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.
4. Stuff each chicken breast with an equal amount of the spinach filling, pressing it gently into the pocket. Secure the opening with toothpicks, if necessary.
5. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the stuffed chicken breasts to the skillet.
6. Cook the chicken for about 3-4 minutes on each side until browned.
7. Transfer 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).
8. Remove the skillet from the oven and allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes.
9. Carefully remove the toothpicks before serving.
10. Serve the Keto Spinach-Stuffed Chicken Breasts hot and enjoy!
