Roasted Red Pepper, Spinach & Mozzarella Stuffed Chicken

Print Recipe

Tender chicken breasts stuffed with roasted red peppers, wilted spinach, and gooey mozzarella cheese, then roasted to perfection for a delicious and healthy meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 oz each)
  • 2 red bell peppers, roasted and chopped
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Make a deep slit in each chicken breast to form a pocket, being careful not to cut all the way through.
  3. In a pan over medium heat, sauté the spinach with a bit of olive oil until wilted. Add garlic and stir for 1 minute.
  4. Mix the wilted spinach, chopped roasted red peppers, mozzarella, and Italian seasoning in a bowl.
  5. Stuff each chicken breast with the mixture and secure with toothpicks if needed.
  6. Brush the chicken with olive oil, season with salt and pepper.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature 165°F).
  8. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For best results, roast the red peppers yourself by grilling or broiling until charred, then peel. Use low-fat mozzarella to reduce calories if desired. Serve with a side salad.
