Servings: 4 people
Calories: 389kcal
Ingredients
- 6 ounces cream cheese fat-free
- 15 ounces artichoke hearts can, drained and chopped
- 1 cup baby spinach cooked and liquid squeezed out
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese fat-free, shredded
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 24 ounces boneless and skinless chicken breasts 4 pieces
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- In a mixing bowl, whip the cream cheese on high until fluffy. Add the artichokes, spinach, garlic, cheese, half the salt, and half the pepper. Mix on low speed just until combined.
- Carefully cut open the side of the chicken breast to create a pocket. Stuff each with the cream cheese mixture. About 3 to 4 tablespoons per chicken breast.
- In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil. Once the oil is very hot, add the chicken carefully so the filling does not fall out. Cook each side about 1 to 2 minutes or until each side golden brown. Transfer the pan to the oven and cook for about 10 more minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
- Remove from the oven and let sit for about 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
