Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 large chicken breasts
1 1/2 c chopped spinach
5.2 oz boursin herb cream cheese
2/3 c shredded mozzarella
1/4 c grated parmesan cheese
3 Tbsp mayonnaise
2 clove garlic minced
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper
1/4 tsp dried marjoram (or oregano)
1/4 tsp smoked paprika
1/8 tsp ground cayenne
2 Tbsp canola or vegetable oil

Steps:

  • 1. Mix together chopped spinach, herb cream cheese, mozzarella, Parmesan, mayonnaise, and minced garlic; set aside.
  • 2. Cut 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.
  • 3. In a small bowl combine garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, marjoram, paprika and cayenne. Rub the spice mixture into the stuffed chicken breasts on both sides.
  • 4. Heat vegetable oil in a large ovenproof skillet. Cook the chicken until golden brown on both sides; about 4 minutes per side. Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook for 7-12 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees. After removing the chicken from the oven let it rest for 7-10 minutes.
