Roasted Red Pepper, Spinach, and Mozzarella Stuffed Chicken

Ingredients

• Chicken
• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• Salt & black pepper, to taste
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp paprika
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• Stuffing
• 1 cup roasted red peppers, sliced (jarred or homemade)
• 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
• 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded or sliced
• 1 clove garlic, minced

Optional Garnish

• ½ tsp dried oregano or Italian seasoning
• Fresh basil or parsley, chopped

Directions

Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C). Lightly grease a baking dish.

Cut a deep pocket into the side of each chicken breast without slicing all the way through.

Season chicken inside and out with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

Mix roasted red peppers, chopped spinach, mozzarella, and garlic. Stuff each chicken breast with the mixture. Secure with toothpicks if needed.

Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Sear chicken for 2–3 minutes per side until lightly golden.

Sprinkle with oregano or Italian seasoning, then transfer skillet (or place chicken in baking dish) to the oven.

Bake for 18–22 minutes until chicken is fully cooked and juices run clear.

Remove toothpicks, garnish with fresh herbs, and serve immediately.
