How To Make stuffed chicken breast
-
Step 1Mix together chopped spinach, herb cream cheese, mozzarella, Parmesan, mayonnaise, and minced garlic; set aside.
-
Step 2Cut pockets in your chicken breast lengthwise using a sharp knife. Take your time and be careful not to cut through the top, bottom, or opposite side of the chicken breast. Spoon the spinach mixture in and secure with 1-2 toothpicks.
-
Step 3In a small bowl combine the onion powder, Kosher salt, black pepper, marjoram, paprika, and cayenne. Rub the spice mixture into the stuffed chicken breasts on both sides.
-
Step 4Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Heat vegetable oil in a large ovenproof skillet. Cook the chicken until golden brown on both sides; about 4 minutes per side.
-
Step 5Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook for 7-12 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
-
Step 6After removing the chicken from the oven let it rest for 7-10 minutes.
