  5. Cut a pocket into each chicken breast using a sharp knife, being careful not to cut all the way through.
  6. Stuff each chicken breast with the spinach and cheese mixture.

Notes

For an extra layer of flavor, consider searing the stuffed chicken breasts in your skillet for 2-3 minutes on each side before baking. Serve with a fresh side salad or roasted vegetables for a colorful plate.
