Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium heat.
  2. Butterfly the chicken breasts by slicing horizontally through the middle, but not all the way through, so you can open them like a book.

  4. Divide the spinach mixture evenly among the chicken breasts, spreading it over one side of each breast.
  5. Fold the other side of each chicken breast over the stuffing, pressing down gently to seal.
  6. Place the stuffed chicken breasts on the preheated grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  7. Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
  8. Serve the grilled stuffed chicken as a main dish with a side of your choice, such as roasted vegetables or a salad.
