Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 10 oz fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Baking dish
  • Medium bowl
  • knife
  • cutting board
  • Oven
  • measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the chopped spinach, ricotta, Parmesan, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well until fully incorporated.
  3. Slice each chicken breast horizontally to create a pocket, being careful not to cut all the way through.
  4. Stuff each chicken breast with the spinach mixture, dividing it evenly.
  5. Place the stuffed chicken breasts in a baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  6. Remove the dish from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For best results, be sure to strike the right balance of moisture between the chicken and the spinach filling. Baking the stuffed chicken at a slightly lower temperature for a longer duration ensures the chicken remains juicy and the filling stays intact.
