Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures the chicken cooks evenly and achieves a nice, golden finish.
Step 2: Prepare the Chicken Breasts Make a deep cut along the side of each chicken breast to create a pocket. Be careful not to cut all the way through. This pocket will hold our delicious filling.
Step 3: Stuff the Chicken Stuff each chicken breast with equal amounts of roasted red peppers, spinach, and shredded mozzarella cheese. Use toothpicks to secure the openings if necessary to keep the stuffing inside.
Step 4: Season the Chicken In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Brush this mixture over both sides of the chicken breasts to ensure they are well-seasoned and flavorful.
Step 5: Bake the Chicken Place the stuffed chicken breasts in a baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink inside. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness; the internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
Step 6: Rest and Serve Once cooked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, making the chicken even more succulent.
