Creamy Spinach and Cheese Stuffed Chicken

Ingredients:

• 2 boneless chicken breasts
• 100g fresh baby spinach, chopped
• 100g ricotta cheese
• 50g grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 large egg
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Toothpicks

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. In a bowl, mix together the chopped spinach, ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, and egg. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Butterfly the chicken breasts by slicing them horizontally, but not all the way through, so you can open them like a book.
4. Place a portion of the spinach and cheese mixture on one side of each chicken breast. Fold the other side over to encase the filling.
5. Secure the chicken breasts with toothpicks to hold them together.
6. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the stuffed chicken breasts on both sides.
7. Transfer the pan to the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
8. Remove the toothpicks before serving. Serve the creamy spinach and cheese stuffed chicken hot.
