Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 cups whole wheat pasta, cooked
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 teaspoons olive oil
pepper, to taste
salt, to taste
2 cloves garlic, sliced
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2 oz baby spinach
½ cup sundried tomato
2 cups marinara sauce
4 oz baby spinach

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375˚F (190˚C).
  • With a knife, carefully cut a slit in the side of the chicken making sure to not cut all the way through.
  • Season the chicken breasts with olive oil, pepper, and salt.
  • Stuff each chicken breast with a clove of garlic, half of the mozzarella, half of the sun-dried tomatoes, and 1 ounce (30g) of baby spinach. (You may use toothpicks to close the ingredients inside the chicken breasts if desired, just remember to remove them!)
  • In a cast-iron skillet, sear chicken on medium-high heat until all sides are browned.
  • Continue baking in oven for 15-20 minutes, or until internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165˚F (75˚C). Set aside.
  • Heat marinara and spinach in the cast-iron skillet on medium-high heat until spinach is wilted.
  • Serve chicken on top of whole wheat pasta and spinach marinara sauce.
  • Enjoy!
