Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

• 4 slices turkey bacon, cooked and chopped

• 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped

• ½ cup low-fat cream cheese

• ¼ cup shredded mozzarella

• ¼ tsp garlic powder

• ¼ tsp onion powder

• Salt & black pepper to taste

• Olive oil spray or 1 tbsp olive oil

• Toothpicks (to secure)

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Make the Filling: In a medium bowl, mix cream cheese, spinach, bacon, mozzarella, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.

3. Stuff the Chicken: Slice a pocket into the side of each chicken breast. Stuff with the filling, then secure with toothpicks to keep it all inside.

4. Sear & Bake: Heat oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the stuffed chicken breasts for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

5. Serve: Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve hot with your favorite low-carb side.
