Chicken Stuffed With Tomatoes Spinach And Mozzerella Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375˚F (190˚C).
• With a knife, carefully cut a slit in the side of the chicken making sure to not cut all the way through.
• Season the chicken breasts with olive oil, pepper, and salt.
• Stuff each chicken breast with a clove of garlic, half of the mozzarella, half of the sun-dried tomatoes, and 1 ounce (30g) of baby spinach. (You may use toothpicks to close the ingredients inside the chicken breasts if desired, just remember to remove them!)
• In a cast-iron skillet, sear chicken on medium-high heat until all sides are browned.
• Continue baking in oven for 15-20 minutes, or until internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165˚F (75˚C). Set aside.
• Heat marinara and spinach in the cast-iron skillet on medium-high heat until spinach is wilted.
• Serve chicken on top of whole wheat pasta and spinach marinara sauce.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Place sun-dried tomatoes in a bowl; pour boiling water over them and let steep until softened, about 10 minutes. Drain and chop.
• Mix boursin cheese with scallions and set aside.
• Cut a horizontal slit along the thin, long edge of each chicken breast, nearly through to the opposite side, and open like a book.
• Sprinkle the breasts with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper.
• Divide the cheese filling among the breasts, placing it in the center of each. Top with spinach and sun-dried tomatoes. Close the breast over the filling, pressing the edges firmly together to seal.
• Sprinkle the breasts with paprika, 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper.
• Heat oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned on one side, about 2 minutes. Turn the chicken over and transfer the skillet to the oven. Bake until the chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 15 minutes.
