Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. Using a sharp knife, cut a horizontal pocket into each of the 2 large chicken breasts without cutting all the way through.
Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; add 3 minced garlic cloves and 2 cups chopped fresh spinach, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until spinach wilts and garlic is fragrant; remove from heat.
Step 3: In a bowl, mix the sautéed spinach and garlic with 4 oz softened cream cheese and 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese until well combined.
Step 4: Stuff each chicken breast pocket evenly with the cheese-spinach mixture; secure with toothpicks if needed.
Step 5: Rub the chicken breasts with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp dried oregano.
Step 6: Place the stuffed chicken breasts on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and juices run clear; let rest 5 minutes before serving.
