Ingredients

Cooking Instructions

1

Prep the filling: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and sauté until golden, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in baby spinach and cook for 30 seconds until slightly wilted. Add minced garlic, a pinch of salt, and pepper, and cook for another minute.
Set aside.

2

Stuff the chicken: Carefully open the chicken breasts to create a pocket (or slice as preferred for stuffing).
Spoon the mushroom-spinach mixture into each pocket.
Season the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides.

3

Bake: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Place the stuffed chicken breasts in an oven-safe dish. Bake for 25 minutes.

4

Add mozzarella: Remove the chicken from the oven, top each breast with 3 slices of mozzarella, and return to the oven for 10 more minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Chef's Note

If your chicken breasts are thick, lightly pound them with a meat mallet for even cooking.
