For a richer flavor, consider browning the chicken breasts in a skillet before stuffing and baking. Add a pinch of garlic powder or red pepper flakes to the spinach mixture for an extra layer of flavor. Serve the stuffed chicken with a side of roasted vegetables, quinoa, or a fresh salad for a complete and balanced meal. To ensure the chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Jun 29, 2024I was a bit skeptical about the cottage cheese, but it actually made the chicken so moist and flavorful. Great recipe!

Oct 3, 2023I had trouble keeping the filling inside the chicken breasts, even with the toothpicks. Next time, I might try searing the chicken first to help seal it.
