Mozzarella and Spinach Stuffed Chicken Breast with Balsamic Glaze
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a bowl, mix together 1 cup of chopped spinach, 1 cup of shredded mozzarella, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Cut a pocket into each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through.
- Stuff each chicken breast with the spinach and mozzarella mixture, then secure with toothpicks.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
- Sear the stuffed chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- While the chicken is baking, make the balsamic glaze. In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup of balsamic vinegar, 2 tablespoons of honey, and 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the glaze has thickened and coats the back of a spoon.
- Once the chicken is done, remove the toothpicks and drizzle the balsamic glaze over the stuffed chicken breasts.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
