How Long To Bake Cream Cheese Stuffed Chicken Breast?

The cream cheese and Parmesan add tons of flavor to this spinach-stuffed chicken, and the entire dish only takes a few minutes to prepare, making it a new low-carb family favorite.

My 13-year-old daughter, who is sweet and beautiful, doesn’t like vegetables much. I try to keep in mind that I also didn’t eat vegetables as a child and I survived, so this is probably pretty normal. I still keep trying to push the veggies though.

Yesterday, for dinner, I told her we were having chicken. Cheese stuffed chicken breast, to be exact.

I failed to mention that there was spinach in the cheese. She wasn’t blind, so she was fully aware of it there and simply went with it.

You guys. She ate that entire piece of chicken. Alongside a serving of pan fried Brussels sprouts. Like, woah.

Anyway, I’ve come to think that this recipe for baked stuffed chicken breast is magical. You’ll adore it and it’s also simple and delicious.

How To Make This Cheese Stuffed Chicken Breast:

You’re going to start by mixing up your spinach filling. You’ll need some spinach that has been chopped, cream cheese, Parmesan, a little mayo, and seasonings. Basic stuff, friends.

In a small bowl, combine everything, and then set it aside.

Grab a pack of boneless, skinless chicken breasts. The filling should be the perfect amount for 4 breasts.

After seasoning the chicken breasts, make a small pocket in one of the breasts with a sharp knife. I accomplish this by holding the chicken steady with one hand while using a sharp knife to cut halfway through the breast, as you would if you were butterflying it, but stopping about halfway into the chicken.

If this step seems difficult, watch my video below to see how to do it. It really is easy, promise.

Simply begin spooning the spinach filling into the chicken’s pocket now.

These should be baked for 25 minutes, or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked.
