Ingredients

4 boneless chicken breasts
2 cups fresh spinach (chopped)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
8 oz cream cheese (softened)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
Olive oil or butter for cooking

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a bowl, combine the chopped spinach, minced garlic, softened cream cheese, and grated Parmesan cheese.
Lightly season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
Carefully cut a pocket in each chicken breast.
Generously fill each pocket with the spinach mixture.
In a skillet, heat olive oil or butter over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 3-5 minutes on each side.
Transfer the seared chicken to a baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes.
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Ensure cream cheese is softened for easier mixing. Check the internal temperature of the chicken for safety.
