With the ingredients ready, it’s time for the best moment: sweet filling preparation. Who doesn’t enjoy cream cheese, and ricotta? I like it, and I guess, so do you. Well, in this meal, you will prepare a filling made of this flavorful creams, and top up the goodness with fresh frozen vegetable flavor of spinach. To do this, take a medium-sized bowl and pour in the fresh spinach, low fat feta cheese, ricotta, and the fried garlic. Add some salt to taste into the bowl, and thoroughly stir this mixture. Store it under refrigeration while it is covered by a kitchen cloth.

Now with that done, you should prepare the chicken breasts. Pierce them cautiously to develop structures that resembles pockets within them. It is in this pockets that the filling will be stuffed. If you can’t figure out how to cut the pocket-like structure, here’s a tip. Place the chicken breasts flat on a surface and place a hardened equipment on top. Cut the side of the chicken in between the surface and the equipment without going past either of the sides, and don’t cut through. And your chicken is now ready for stuffing.

Carefully stuff each pocket with this spinach-cheese mixture.

With a standby oven that has been preheated to 450o F, place the skillet inside to bake your spinach-stuffed chicken breasts for about half an hour. But yet, the amount of time you cook the breast in the oven will depend with their thickness. If they are very thick, you can cook for additional five minutes. You can as well cook until you can’t see any juices oozing out of it when you poke the chicken. It is now time to get it out of the oven, and enjoy with friends and family!!!!
