Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced red bell pepper and cook until softened.
- Add the chopped spinach and cook until wilted. Stir in the shredded mozzarella and remove from heat.
- Cut a pocket in each chicken breast and stuff them with the pepper and spinach mixture.
- Season the outside of the chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Place the stuffed chicken breasts in a baking dish and cover with foil.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
- Remove the foil in the last 5 minutes of baking to allow the cheese to brown slightly.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- For extra flavor, marinate the chicken breasts for a few hours before stuffing.
- You can substitute the mozzarella with other cheeses like feta or cheddar.
