  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • Olive oil


Instructions


  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

  3. In a bowl, mix cream cheese, mozzarella, and Parmesan with the sautéed spinach. Season with salt and pepper.


  4. Cut a pocket into each chicken breast and stuff them generously with the spinach and cheese mixture.


  5. Arrange the stuffed chicken breasts in a baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil and add more salt and pepper if desired.
