Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup chopped fresh spinach
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

1. Preheat the grill to medium heat.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese, chopped fresh spinach, chopped fresh basil, chopped fresh parsley, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
3. Using a sharp knife, make a pocket in each chicken breast by cutting a slit horizontally into the side of the breast, being careful not to cut all the way through.
4. Stuff each chicken breast with the cheese and spinach mixture, dividing it evenly among the breasts. Secure the opening with toothpicks to prevent the filling from spilling out.
5. Brush each stuffed chicken breast with olive oil on both sides.
6. Place the chicken breasts on the preheated grill and cook for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) on an instant-read thermometer.
7. Remove the chicken breasts from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
8. Serve the grilled stuffed chicken breasts with your choice of sides and enjoy!
