Description
Roasted Red Pepper Stuffed Chicken is not just a recipe; it’s an experience that brings flavor, nutrition, and ease to the dinner table.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup roasted red peppers, sliced thinly
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Take each boneless chicken breast and place it flat on your cutting board. Using a sharp knife, carefully slice each chicken breast lengthwise. The goal is to create a pocket for that delicious stuffing, so make sure not to cut all the way through the chicken.
- Once your chicken is prepped, it’s time to stuff it! Evenly distribute the roasted red peppers, fresh spinach, and shredded mozzarella cheese into the pockets you created. If the openings aren’t closing well, feel free to use toothpicks to secure them.
- Next, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Brush this flavorful oil mixture generously over all sides of the stuffed chicken breasts. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear.
Notes
Ensure the chicken is completely cooked through by using a meat thermometer; the internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
