Introduction
This Roasted Red Pepper, Spinach, and Mozzarella Stuffed Chicken is a flavorful, restaurant-quality dish that’s surprisingly simple to make at home. Juicy chicken breasts are filled with a savory blend of roasted red peppers, fresh spinach, and gooey mozzarella cheese, then baked to perfection.
Ingredients
- 4 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- ½ cup roasted red peppers, sliced
- 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Directions
- Prepare the Chicken
Preheat your oven to 375°F. Cut a pocket into the side of each chicken breast, being careful not to slice all the way through. - Stuff the Chicken
In a small bowl, mix the roasted red peppers, spinach, and mozzarella. Stuff the mixture into each chicken breast, securing the opening with toothpicks if needed. - Season and Sear
Rub the chicken with olive oil and season with garlic powder, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 2-3 minutes per side until golden. - Bake the Chicken
Transfer the chicken to a baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. - Serve
Remove toothpicks, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve hot.
Serving and Tips
Pair with a side of rice or a fresh salad. For added flavor, drizzle with balsamic glaze or serve with marinara sauce.
