Instructions
- First, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
- Lay each chicken breast flat on a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to make a horizontal slit along the side of each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through. This will create a pocket for the stuffing.
- Season the inside and outside of each chicken breast with salt and pepper.
- Layer a slice of cheese, a handful of spinach leaves, and a spoonful of chopped sun-dried tomatoes inside each chicken breast pocket. You can adjust the amount of filling to your preference.
- In a small bowl, mix together the minced garlic, olive oil, and dried Italian herbs.
- Brush the garlic and herb mixture over the outside of each chicken breast, coating them evenly.
- Use toothpicks or kitchen twine to secure the openings of the chicken breasts and hold the filling in place.
- Place the stuffed chicken breasts in the greased baking dish. If desired, drizzle any remaining garlic and herb mixture over the top.
- Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for about 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Once cooked, remove the stuffed chicken breasts from the oven. Let them rest for a few minutes.
- Carefully remove the toothpicks or kitchen twine before serving.
- Finally, serve the stuffed chicken breasts with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables, salad, or mashed potatoes.
