How to prepare stuffed chicken breasts

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (180°C).

Now, grab those chicken breasts and make them nice and flat. Use a meat mallet to gently pound them until they’re about ¼ to ½ inch (0.6-1 cm) thick.

In a small bowl, mix together some creamy cream cheese, garlic powder, chives, salt, and pepper.

Spread half of this creamy mixture onto each chicken breast. Sprinkle on some chopped sun-dried tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, and healthy spinach leaves. A pinch more salt and pepper will make it just right.

Roll up the chicken breasts carefully and secure them with toothpicks to keep everything together.

Grab an oven-proof skillet and heat up some olive oil. Brown those chicken rolls on all sides until they look scrumptious.

Now, pop the skillet into the oven and let the chicken bake for around 35 to 40 minutes. Keep an eye on it – you want the chicken to be cooked all the way through.

When it’s done, take the skillet out of the oven, but don’t rush! Let the chicken rest for about 15 minutes. This helps all those delicious juices settle in.

Finally, it’s time to slice up your fantastic creation and enjoy a mouthwatering meal you made with your own hands. If you try it out, make sure to share the photos with me on Instagram. Bon appétit!
