Description
A creamy and cheesy stuffed chicken breast that mimics the restaurant-style dish from Ruth’s Chris, perfect for both weeknight meals and special occasions.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup spinach, chopped
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for cooking
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a bowl, mix together the spinach, cream cheese, mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Cut a pocket in each chicken breast and stuff with the cheese mixture.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sear the stuffed chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Transfer the chicken to a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
Pound the chicken slightly to make stuffing easier and don’t overfill the pockets to avoid tearing. Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
