Delicious boneless, skinless chicken thighs stuffed with a flavorful mix of spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, cream cheese, and mozzarella.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Toothpicks or kitchen twine

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a baking dish or an oven-safe skillet.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix the chopped spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, softened cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning until well combined.
  3. Place the chicken thighs on a cutting board and pound them to an even thickness. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
  4. Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the filling onto each chicken thigh. Roll them tightly and secure with toothpicks or kitchen twine.
  5. In your oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the stuffed chicken thighs on all sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  6. Transfer the skillet to your preheated oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  7. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before removing any toothpicks or twine. Slice, serve, and enjoy!

Notes

Feel free to substitute spinach with other greens or sun-dried tomatoes with your favorite veggies. For storage, keep leftovers in an airtight container for 3-4 days or freeze for longer storage.
