This Tuscan Stuffed Chicken Recipe gives you succulent chicken breast stuffed with a cheesy filling. Melty provolone cheese is blended with roasted peppers, fresh spinach, and Italian seasoning.
Rub chicken breasts with 2 tablespoons olive oil, and salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
4 large chicken breasts, 4 tablespoons olive oil, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon pepper, ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
Cut out a wide pocket in each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through.
Stuff each chicken breast with roasted red peppers, 1 slice of cheese, and spinach.
1 cup jarred roasted red peppers, 4 slices provolone cheese, 1 cup packed fresh spinach
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
4 tablespoons olive oil
Once heated, sear the stuffed chicken breasts on each side, but don’t cook through. (You may need to do this in two batches depending on the size of your chicken breasts.)
Place all 4 breasts in the skillet and transfer the skillet to the oven.
Cook for 30-40 minutes, until the chicken breasts are cooked through.
Spoon the pan juices over the chicken and serve.
