Steps

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a small bowl, mix together the chopped spinach, cream cheese, mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined. Take the chicken breast and carefully slice it horizontally to create a pocket. Stuff the spinach and cheese mixture into the chicken breast pocket. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sear the chicken breast for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Transfer the chicken to a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Ingredients

1 boneless, skinless chicken breast 1/4 cup fresh spinach, chopped 2 tablespoons cream cheese 2 tablespoons shredded mozzarella cheese 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder Salt and pepper to taste 1 tablespoon olive oil
