Οδηγίες

Prepare oven and dish

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with olive oil.

Make seasoning rub

Combine olive oil, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, onion powder, and ½ teaspoon of salt in a small mixing bowl. Mix well and set aside.

Prepare chicken breasts

Place chicken breasts on a cutting board. Carefully insert a knife into the thickest part of each breast to create a pocket, about 4 inches wide. Do not cut all the way through.

Season chicken

Rub the prepared seasoning on all sides and inside the pockets of the chicken breasts. Refrigerate to marinate until ready to use.

Prepare filling

In a bowl, mix ricotta cheese, grated mozzarella, grated Parmesan, chopped spinach (steamed and drained), minced garlic, and remaining salt. Season with pepper to taste.

Stuff chicken

Remove marinated chicken breasts from the refrigerator. Stuff each pocket with the cheese mixture and secure with toothpicks if needed.

Bake chicken

Place stuffed chicken breasts in the prepared dish. Bake for 25 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even browning. Alternatively, cook on the stovetop.

Serve and enjoy

Remove toothpicks and serve warm. Enjoy your delicious stuffed chicken!
