Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup spinach, chopped
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced

- In a mixing bowl, blend together the chopped spinach, softened cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Carefully cut a pocket into each chicken breast, making room for the cheesy filling.
- Stuff each chicken breast generously with the spinach and cheese mixture.
- Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear the stuffed chicken breasts for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
