Dinner Recipe to Impress | Stuffed Chicken Breast
These Garlic Butter Chicken Bites Are Incredibly Delicious, Indulgent and SO Easy to make!
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts
- Salt and Pepper
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- For the Filling
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 3 cups spinach roughly chopped
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- 1/3 cup sun dried tomatoes
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1 cup shredded Mozzarella
- 1/3 cup Parmesan grated
- ½ teaspoon dried basil
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- 1 pinch red pepper flakes
Instructions
- To prepare the Filling
- Get your oven ready by preheating at 375 degrees F.
- Add some oil in a large skillet set over medium heat (1-2 teaspoons). Add in the garlic and spinach; cook for about 3 to 4 minutes until wilted, then place in a bowl and let it cool.
- Add the sundried tomatoes into the same bowl alongside the rest of the filling ingredients. Mix gently to combine, then put aside.
- To prepare the chicken
- Pat the chicken breast until dry, then while carefully using a sharp knife, cut a pocket for the stuffing.
- Pack the filling into each chicken breast, then top with salt, pepper, and paprika.
- Set a large skillet over medium high heat, then add oil. Once it’s heated, place two chicken breasts at a time and sear both side for about 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown.
- Place the skillet in the oven (if it’s oven safe, use a baking dish instead) and bake for 17 to 20 minutes. Let it rest a bit before serving. Enjoy!
