Ingredients
- 4 Chicken Breasts
- 1 Jalapeno thinly sliced
- 1 cup Mozzarella Cheese
- 1 cup Ricotta Cheese
- 1 cup Baby Spinach
- 2 cloves Garlic minced
- 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt
- 1/4 tsp Ground Black Pepper
Instructions
- Prep the Chicken. Start by making cuts across each chicken breast, about 3/4 down, ensuring not to cut all the way through. Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
- Prepare the Filling. In a bowl, mix the jalapeno slices, spinach, ricotta, mozzarella, and minced garlic. Add any additional herbs or seasonings as desired.
- Stuff the Chicken. Carefully stuff each slit with the spinach and cheese mixture. Sprinkle with additional salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings.
- Bake to Perfection. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish and Serve. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after baking. Garnish with fresh herbs or a drizzle of pesto sauce before serving.
