Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step

Pour the beaten egg into a shallow bowl. Dip each chicken breast into the egg, ensuring it's fully coated. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side, until lightly browned. This step adds depth of flavor. (8 minutes)

04

Step

In a medium bowl, combine the thawed spinach, crumbled bacon, sun-dried tomatoes, Cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, mayonnaise, and crushed garlic. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed. (5 minutes)

05

Step

Remove the chicken from the skillet. Using a sharp knife, carefully slice a pocket into the thickest part of each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through. (5 minutes)

06

Step

Stuff each chicken breast generously with the spinach and cheese mixture. (5 minutes)

07

Step

Place the stuffed chicken breasts in a baking dish, seam-side up. Season with salt and pepper. Cover the dish with foil. (2 minutes)

08

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for another 10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork. (40 minutes)

For a richer flavor, use smoked bacon.
Feel free to substitute the cheeses with your favorites, such as Gruyere or provolone.
If you don't have sun-dried tomatoes, chopped roasted red peppers work well too.
Ensure the spinach is thoroughly drained to prevent a soggy filling.
Serve with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
