Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
• 1/2 cup artichoke hearts, chopped
• 1/2 cup cream cheese
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Olive oil for cooking

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Using a sharp knife, make a pocket in each chicken breast by slicing horizontally through the thickest part of the breast. Be careful not to cut all the way through.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped spinach, artichoke hearts, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
4. Stuff each chicken breast with the creamy spinach and artichoke mixture, then secure the openings with toothpicks.
5. Heat olive oil in an ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the stuffed chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they turn golden brown.
6. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through, and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
7. Remove the toothpicks before serving. Garnish with extra Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
