This Spinach Ricotta Stuffed Chicken is not only easy to make but also a healthy and delicious option for any night of the week. The combination of creamy ricotta, nutritious spinach, and savory Parmesan cheese creates a mouthwatering filling that complements the juicy chicken perfectly.
Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup ricotta cheese
1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup chicken broth
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, spinach, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Cut a pocket into the side of each chicken breast. Stuff the ricotta mixture evenly into each pocket.
Secure the pockets with toothpicks if necessary.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sear each side until golden, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Pour chicken broth into the skillet around the chicken breasts. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
