Ingredients
  

  • 4 large boneless chicken breasts
  • ½ cup chicken marinade
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 12 oz chopped spinach
  • 6 oz sun-dried tomatoes chopped
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 teaspoons herb seasoning blend
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 teaspoons oil from sun-dried tomatoes
  • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon herb seasoning blend

Method
 

  1. Slice each chicken breast horizontally to create a foldable pocket without cutting all the way through.
  2. Marinate the chicken breasts in the chicken marinade for about 30 minutes.
  3. In a mixing bowl combine cream cheese, chopped spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, mozzarella, and herb seasoning until well blended.
  4. Fill each chicken breast with the creamy spinach mixture and secure the opening with toothpicks.
  5. Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium heat and place the stuffed chicken on the grill.
  6. Cook for about 10 minutes total, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  7. Meanwhile melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat and add heavy cream and sun-dried tomato oil.
  8. Stir in parmesan cheese and seasoning, then simmer for about 5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  9. Remove chicken from the grill and spoon the warm parmesan cream sauce over the top before serving.

Notes

  1. Do not overfill the chicken or the filling may spill out while grilling.
  2. Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches 165°F.
  3. Let the chicken rest for 3 to 5 minutes before slicing to keep it juicy.
  4. This recipe can also be baked in the oven at 375°F for about 25 to 30 minutes.
