Roasted Red Pepper, Spinach, and Mozzarella Stuffed Chicken
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 45 minutes
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless 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
- Toothpicks (optional for securing the chicken)
Directions:
Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare the chicken: Carefully slice along the side of each chicken breast to create a pocket, ensuring not to cut all the way through.
Stuff the chicken: Equally distribute the roasted red peppers, spinach, and mozzarella cheese into each chicken breast pocket. If necessary, use toothpicks to secure the openings.
Season the chicken: In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Brush this mixture over the chicken breasts, coating both sides.
Bake: Place the stuffed chicken breasts in a baking dish. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink inside, and the prosciutto or bacon is crispy.
Serve: Remove the toothpicks, if used, and serve hot.
