Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped

1 cup canned artichoke hearts, thoroughly drained and diced

1 cup cream cheese, softened to room temperature

½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

½ teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

2 tablespoons olive oil

Fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnishing)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures it's ready for baking when you finish preparing the dish.

    Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, finely chopped spinach, diced artichoke hearts, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, minced garlic, lemon juice, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly blended into a creamy mixture.

      Prepare the Chicken Breasts: Take each chicken breast and carefully create a pocket by slicing into the thickest part, making sure not to cut all the way through to the other side. Be gentle to avoid breaking the chicken.

        Stuff the Chicken: Using a spoon or a small spatula, generously fill each chicken pocket with the spinach and artichoke mixture. Make sure the pockets are well-filled and consider using toothpicks to secure any openings if the filling spills out.

          Sear the Chicken: Heat the olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot, place the stuffed chicken breasts in the skillet. Sear them for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they develop a beautiful golden brown color.

            Bake: Carefully transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake the chicken for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until fully cooked—the internal temperature should read 165°F (75°C) for safe consumption.

              Serve: Once the chicken is cooked, take it out of the oven and allow it to rest for a few minutes. If you used toothpicks, remove them gently. You can slice the chicken for easier serving, then garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a vibrant touch.

                Enjoy: Serve your Spinach & Artichoke Stuffed Chicken alongside a side of roasted vegetables or a crisp green salad to create a delightful and balanced meal.
