Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp dried Italian herbs (oregano and basil)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a bowl, mix cream cheese, garlic, spinach, Parmesan cheese, and Italian herbs until creamy.
  3. Carefully slice each chicken breast horizontally to create pockets.
  4. Stuff each pocket generously with the filling mixture.
  5. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the stuffed chicken seam-side down until golden brown (about 5 minutes).
  6. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (73°C).
  7. For the sauce, combine sour cream, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and chicken broth in a saucepan over low heat until warmed through.
