Description

A delicious and creamy stuffed chicken inspired by Ruth’s Chris Steak House. This dish combines tender chicken breasts with a cheesy spinach filling, perfect for family dinners or special occasions.

Ingredients

Scale

4 chicken breasts
1 cup cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup breadcrumbs (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, then remove from heat and let it cool.
In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, spinach, salt, and pepper. Stir until everything is well mixed.
Take each chicken breast and cut a pocket into the side of it. Stuff each pocket with the cheese mixture.
If you want a crispy exterior, coat the outside of each chicken breast with breadcrumbs.
Place the stuffed chicken into a baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked.
Once it’s done, let the chicken rest for a few minutes to retain its juices before serving.

Notes

For additional flavor, consider adding herbs or spices to the cheese mixture. Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken is cooked to 165°F (74°C).
