Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup fresh spinach, chopped

1/2 cup roasted red peppers, diced

1 cup fresh mozzarella cheese, shredded

1/4 cup cream cheese, softened

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Salt and black pepper to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/2 teaspoon paprika (for garnish)

Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped spinach, diced roasted red peppers, shredded mozzarella, cream cheese, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything until well mixed.

      Prepare the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a pocket into each chicken breast, making sure not to cut all the way through.

        Stuff the Chicken: Generously spoon the filling mixture into each chicken pocket. Use toothpicks to secure the opening if necessary.

          Sear the Chicken: In an oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the stuffed chicken breasts and sear them for about 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown.

            Roast in Oven: Once seared, transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

              Garnish and Serve: Remove the chicken from the oven. Let it rest for a few minutes before removing the toothpicks. Sprinkle with paprika and garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired.

                Enjoy: Slice and serve your flavorful roasted red pepper, spinach, and mozzarella stuffed chicken with a side of your choice, such as a fresh salad or roasted vegetables.
