Instructions
- Split the chicken breasts into wide, but thin slices. Season both sides with ¼ teaspoon of salt, ⅛ teaspoon of pepper, and ½ teaspoon of Italian seasoning.
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat, then add spinach, ½ tablespoon of olive oil, and garlic. Stir fry.
- When the spinach looks wilted, pour into a sieve to remove excess water.
- Spread the spinach over the slices of chicken. Spread the cream cheese, mozzarella, and 1 oz walnuts in a thin, even layer on top.
- Roll the slices up, secure with toothpicks, then roll them through a shallow plate of flour.
- Heat a cast-iron pan over medium heat. Add 1 ½ tablespoons of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter. Sear the chicken rolls with garlic cloves until golden brown.
- Stir fry mushrooms and asparagus with 1 tablespoon of butter in the same pan over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Season with the remaining salt, walnuts, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
- Bake the chicken and vegetables in the oven for 15 minutes, then take them out and remove the toothpicks.
- Slice the chicken breasts and serve with the baked vegetables.
Notes
- How Long to Bake the Chicken Breasts
- The chicken takes about 30 minutes to cook in the oven at 300 degrees F.
- At 375 degrees, the baking should take 20 minutes.
- The time’s reduced to 15 minutes if you bake at 400 degrees.
- Note that in this recipe, the chicken is seared in a pan before baking. This is to give it a warm brown finish, but that also partly cooks the chicken. As a result, the baking time is reduced to 15 minutes at 375 degrees.
- Also, the above timing applies to 4-oz chicken breasts. You may want to adjust the time depending on the actual size of the chicken breasts you have.
- How to Store Baked Stuffed Chicken Breasts
- After cooking, you may store chicken in an airtight glass container while they’re still hot and put it into the fridge or freezer. However, to avoid condensation and dripping of water onto the chicken, you store it in the freezer or fridge as soon as it cools down. Remember not to cut the breasts beforehand and don't leave them at room temp for more than one hour.
- These healthy stuffed chicken breasts can stay in the fridge for 72 hours, and in the freezer for up to 1 month.
- To reheat the chicken, spread some water on the surface of the breasts and put them in the microwave for a few minutes.
