Step-By-Step Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
-
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
-
Add chopped baby spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted. Season with kosher salt, black pepper, and dried oregano. Remove from heat and stir in ricotta cheese.
-
Butterfly each chicken breast by cutting a slit horizontally through the center, leaving the edges intact.
-
Season the inside of each chicken breast with a pinch of kosher salt and black pepper.
-
Stuff each chicken breast with the spinach and ricotta cheese mixture.
-
Secure the edges of the chicken breasts with toothpicks to keep the stuffing in place.
-
Place the stuffed chicken breasts in a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven until the chicken has an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 25 minutes.
