Baked Stuffed Chicken Breasts with Cheese, Spinach, and Sun-dried Tomatoes

stuffed chicken

Healthy stuffed chicken breasts with feta cheese, mozzarella cheese, spinach, and sun-dried tomatoes tastes like a gourmet meal you would order in a restaurant. But you’ll enjoy this easy meal in the comfort of your own home!

Chicken breast is the most versatile protein. Often when I cook them at home, I add it to salads or wraps for extra protein. Seasoned minimally with just salt and pepper, it’s pretty boring. But this recipe is anything but boring. The chicken breasts have a perfect sear and are stuffed to the brim.

Marinated in a sun-dried tomato pesto and stuffed with feta and mozzarella cheese oozing out, this chicken dish is a must have! The spinach and sun-dried tomatoes mix well with the melting cheeses. Trust me, you’ll want to make extra to eat the rest of the week.

Author: Meg's Meal Planning
Recipe type: Dinner
Cuisine: American
Serves: 2
Ingredients
  • 1 tbsp sun-dried tomato pesto
  • 2 large chicken breasts
  • ½ cup fresh spinach, chopped
  • ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes
  • ½ cup feta cheese
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  2. Rub sun-dried tomato pesto on both sides of chicken breasts. Using a sharp knife, cut through the long side of the chicken breasts about ¾ of the way through.
  3. In a small bowl add the spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, feta cheese, and mozzarella cheese. Stir together.
  4. Add the cheese mixture to the chicken breasts, stuffing as much as you can. If it all doesn't fit that's okay.
  5. Carefully transfer to a baking dish (spray with cooking spray first). Bake for 20-30 minutes or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
