Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (1.5 lbs)
- 2 cups fresh spinach (chopped)
- 1 cup ricotta cheese

- 3 cloves fresh garlic (minced)
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C) and prepare a baking dish with nonstick spray.
- In a mixing bowl, combine chopped spinach, ricotta, mozzarella, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until well blended.
- Slice pockets into each chicken breast carefully. Generously stuff each pocket with the cheesy spinach mixture.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear stuffed chicken breasts for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Place the seared chicken in the prepared baking dish, pour chicken broth around them without drowning them, cover with foil, and bake for 25-30 minutes until fully cooked.
- Let rest for five minutes before slicing open to reveal the cheesy filling. Drizzle with remaining broth before serving.
