Ingredients

4 chicken breasts

1 cup roasted red peppers, sliced

1 cup fresh spinach

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Cut a pocket into each chicken breast, being careful not to slice all the way through, creating a space for the stuffing.

In a bowl, mix the roasted red peppers, spinach, and mozzarella cheese.

Stuff each chicken breast with the red pepper, spinach, and mozzarella mixture, packing the stuffing generously.

Season each stuffed chicken breast with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.

Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the stuffed chicken breasts and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

For a spicy kick, add crushed red pepper flakes to the stuffing or sprinkle cayenne pepper on the chicken.

Substitute mozzarella with provolone, goat cheese, or even feta for different flavors.

Fresh basil or parsley can be added to the stuffing for an extra layer of flavor.

For a vegetarian version, use large portobello mushroom caps instead of chicken.
