Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
Optional: a pinch of red pepper flakes for a bit of heat
Instructions:
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prep the Chicken: Make horizontal slits along each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Fill with Spinach and Cheese: Stuff each slit with chopped spinach and mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle crumbled bacon over the top.
Prepare Garlic Oil: In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic, and red pepper flakes (if using). Drizzle the mixture over the chicken breasts.
Bake: Place the chicken in a baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked and the cheese is bubbly.
Serve: Let rest for a few minutes before serving, and enjoy this creamy, cheesy, and savory dish!
