Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup frozen spinach, thawed and drained
- 1 cup artichoke hearts, chopped
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
- In a large bowl, combine the spinach, artichoke hearts, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, garlic, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix well.
- Using a sharp knife, cut a slit in each chicken breast to create a pocket. Stuff each pocket with the spinach artichoke mixture, evenly dividing it among the chicken breasts.
- Secure the openings of the chicken breasts with toothpicks to keep the filling inside.
- Place the stuffed chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish and sprinkle with additional mozzarella cheese, if desired.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and golden brown.
- Remove the toothpicks before serving. Serve the Spinach Artichoke Dip Chicken with your choice of pasta or vegetables.
