There’s something undeniably special about a beautifully presented, flavorful meal. It feels like a little act of self-care, a way to nourish both the body and the soul. And today, I’m sharing a recipe that embodies that feeling: my Roasted Red Pepper Spinach Mozzarella Stuffed Chicken. It looks impressive, but it’s surprisingly easy to make, and the flavors are absolutely divine. It’s a dish that’s perfect for a special occasion, but it’s also comforting enough for a weeknight dinner.


I’ve always been drawn to recipes that feel a little bit elevated, a little bit fancy, without being overly complicated. And this [ baked stuffed chicken breast recipes ] fits the bill perfectly. It’s a classic dish, but with a few simple twists that make it truly special. The combination of juicy chicken, flavorful roasted red peppers, creamy mozzarella, and fresh spinach is simply irresistible. It’s a symphony of flavors and textures that will leave you wanting more.


What I love most about this recipe is how versatile it is. You can easily customize it to your liking by adding different cheeses, vegetables, or herbs. I’ve tried everything from feta and sun-dried tomatoes to mushrooms and caramelized onions, and it’s always delicious. It’s a blank canvas for your creativity! And honestly, the process of making it is just as enjoyable as eating it. There’s something incredibly satisfying about carefully stuffing each chicken breast and watching it bake to golden perfection.


One of the keys to success with these [ baked stuffed chicken breast recipes ] is to use high-quality ingredients. I prefer to use boneless, skinless chicken breasts, as they’re more tender and easier to work with. But you can also use bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts if you prefer. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly. And don’t skimp on the cheese! The mozzarella is what really brings the whole dish together.


And speaking of flavor, don’t be afraid to experiment with different seasonings. I like to use a simple blend of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning, but you can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat, or a dash of paprika for a smoky flavor. It’s all about finding what you like best.


This [ baked stuffed chicken breast recipes ] is more than just a meal; it’s a little bit of comfort, a little bit of indulgence, and a whole lot of love. It’s a recipe that’s meant to be shared with loved ones, and I hope it brings you as much joy as it brings me. ❤️

Chicken breasts are stuffed with flavorful roasted red peppers, gooey mozzarella cheese, and fresh baby spinach for the easiest twist on stuffed chicken!

  • Author: Emilia Hayes
  • Prep Time: 20 minutes
  • Cook Time: 2
  • Total Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium chicken breasts (about 2 lbs)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
    1 tablespoon butter
  • ½ cup jarred roasted red peppers (sliced into strips)
  • 1 ½ cups fresh baby spinach
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 slices fresh mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Pat chicken breasts dry and cut a horizontal slit in each about ⅔ through. Season with salt and pepper and dredge each breast in flour, shaking off excess.
  2. In a large oven-safe skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil and butter over medium-high heat until shimmery. Sear chicken on both sides 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Transfer to plate and set aside.
  3. In same skillet over medium-high heat, saute roasted red peppers, and spinach in remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil until spinach is wilted, about 3-5 minutes. Add garlic and saute 1 additional minute until fragrant. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Transfer filling to a small bowl. Return chicken to skillet off-heat. Fill each chicken breast with a slice of mozzarella cheese and roasted red pepper mixture using toothpicks to secure.
  5. Bake at 375°F (190°C) 20-25 minutes or until chicken registers 165°F (74°C). Remove toothpicks before serving and enjoy!

Notes

  • For a spicier dish, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the filling.
  • You can substitute the roasted red peppers with other vegetables, such as mushrooms or zucchini.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
