Stuffed Chicken Breast
Looking for something else to do with chicken breast? This is a simple and quick recipe that is full of flavor. We served ours over top of a garden salad.
  • Prep Time:
  • Cook Time:
  • Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • (4 breasts) Chicken Breasts
  • (3 Tbsp.) Olive Oil
  • (1/3 cup) Pesto
  • (2 Tbsp. minced) Garlic
  • (8 oz.) Sun Dried Tomatoes
  • (6 oz.) Cream Cheese
  • (6 oz.) Smoked Cheddar Cheese
  • (4 cups) Spinach

Directions

Instead of stuffing, I chose to do more of an open-face style. Because of this, it took less time to cook.


In a skillet, add some olive oil and cook down the spinach.


Slice the sun dried tomatoes into small bite-sized pieces.


In a saucepan add the cream cheese, cheddar, garlic and pesto. Let melt and stir.


Add the tomatoes and spinach. Let everything cook a few minutes.


While letting the stuffing meld together, heat oil in a cast-iron skillet.


Butterfly chicken breasts and then sear for a couple minutes on each side.


Preheat oven to 375 degrees.


Add the stuffing to the open-faced breast.


Place the skillet into the oven.


Bake for 10-15 minutes until breasts have reached 165 degrees.


Serve and enjoy!
