Simple Stuffed Chicken

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking dish with parchment paper.

2. In a mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine all the flavors.

3. Using a sharp knife, carefully butterfly each chicken breast by cutting horizontally through the thickest part, but not all the way through, so you can open it like a book.

4. Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap and gently pound them with a meat mallet or rolling pin to an even thickness of about 1/4 inch.

5. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.

6. Spoon the breadcrumb mixture evenly onto each chicken breast, then fold the chicken over to enclose the filling.

7. Secure the chicken with toothpicks to hold the filling inside.

8. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the stuffed chicken breasts and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown.

9. Transfer the browned chicken breasts to the prepared baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.

10. Remove the toothpicks before serving. Slice the stuffed chicken breasts diagonally and arrange them on a platter.

11. Serve hot and enjoy the burst of flavors with every bite!
