Spinach Stuffed Chicken Ingredients

Chicken Breasts Defrosted and Halved

For this recipe, I use two large boneless skinless chicken breasts. The larger they are in size, the easier they are for stuffing. You can easily double the recipe if you will be baking four or more chicken breasts, depending on how many people you’re serving.

Chicken Seasoning

There are so many variations of chicken seasonings out there, and you probably have your own preference on seasoning. You can literally season stuffed chicken any way you like!

You’ll need extra virgin cold-pressed olive oil for coating, but other oils like coconut oil and avocado oil will do just fine.

Use a flavourful blend of spices, like himalayan salt, pepper, garlic powder, rosemary and thyme. If you really love a smoky taste, add in some paprika.

Spinach and Cream Cheese Filling

A quarter of a block of full fat cream cheese is the winner for this creamy and rich stuffed chicken recipe.

You’ll also need shredded mozzarella, grated parmesan, minced garlic, and finely chopped spinach.

Right before my spinach begins to wilt in the fridge, I’ll throw the bag into the freezer to use for smoothies and dinner recipes like this. It truly won’t matter if you use fresh or frozen spinach.

How to Cut and Stuff Chicken Breasts

When you cut your chicken breasts in half, don’t cut all the way through (like a bun), so that it opens and closes like a pocket. Never cut towards yourself. Place your hand on top of the chicken and cut horizontally, right down the middle.

You’ll spoon in your filling to the middle of the chicken, and then fold over the top of the chicken to close the pocket. You’ll want it packed full of that cheese mixture goodness, so don’t be afraid to open it and spoon in more.

How to Make Stuffed Chicken

  1. Prepare the filling. In a large bowl, mix together cream cheese (at room temperature), mozzarella, parmesan, minced garlic, and finely chopped spinach.
  2. Cut your chicken breasts. Cut horizontally, not all the way through the end (leaving about 1/2″ like a bun, to open and close).
  3. Stuff the chicken and season. Open your chicken up and spoon in the cream cheese filling until full. Close the chicken. Drizzle olive oil and sprinkle a blend of salt, pepper, garlic powder, rosemary, and thyme. Rub the seasonings to coat evenly.
  4. Bake in the oven. Bake for 30-40 minutes until the chicken is no longer pink inside, or the inner temperature reaches 165° F.

How to Bake Stuffed Chicken

At our house, we bake our chicken breasts at 400° F, always. Be sure to check the size and thickness of your breasts to determine the cooking time. 

For two chicken breasts, 30-40 minutes in the oven will do. If baking four or more, 40 minutes to one hour is sufficient. 

If unsure, you can always cut a piece off of the middle breast in the pan, at its thickest point, to check if the meat is pink inside. Or, use a thermometer to check that the inner temperature of the chicken (not the filling) is 165° F.

Oven Baked Stuffed Chicken Tips

  • Fresh or frozen spinach will do.
  • Use cream cheese at room temperature for easier, faster mixing.
  • For minimal hand washing, cut the chicken and stuff before seasoning. 
  • Always leave a 1/2″ when cutting the chicken breasts through, horizontally, to form a pocket
  • Take care when spooning the filling onto the chicken, not to tear the chicken.
  • Fold over the chicken on top of the filling–no need to secure with a toothpick!

#AD The living room is the heart of our home, and #AD The living room is the heart of our home, and so is our television. We live for all of the cozy movie nights together as a family, or the simple everyday uses, like asking “Hey Google” to tell us the weather or to play a favourite song, not to mention navigating through apps like it’s nobody’s business! (our old TV lagged like crazy and would completely freeze).

It was time for an upgrade — our new @HisenseCa TV exceeds our expectations and is everything we wanted and needed for our family. It’s affordable, functional and convenient, and the quality is outstanding. They really hit it out of the ball park by making a luxury TV with all of the essential features at an affordable price. The picture is crystal clear, it’s easy to mount, quick start-up, and looks perfect over our fireplace!

A few specs of the 65U88G Android 4K QLED Premium:

-Access to a huge selection of apps (400,000 TV shows and movies in Canada)
-Native4K UHD Resolution
Dolby Vision + HDR10
-Chromecast & Google Assistant built-in
-120Hz refresh rate, 6ms response time
-Hisense proprietary ULED technology meets Hisense QLED (Quantum Dot)

Let’s settle a debate. Android or Roku? Which model would you choose?
