Sharing is caring!

I have always wanted to try to make a stuffed chicken breast recipe, but it’s been something I have always been kinda afraid of. I mean, I am the type of cook that can literally burn water – I couldn’t possibly not mess up stuffing a chicken breast. But, the best way to learn something is to just do it. So I did. And for a first try this Mozzarella and Spinach Stuffed Chicken Breast didn’t turn out half shabby. Not only did it look good and taste great, it was also so much easier than I could have ever imagined.

Not to mention the whole spinach part. Yeah. My kids ate seconds on meat and spinach. Definitely a win.
