Scale
For the Crust:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup roasted red peppers, drained and chopped
- 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano

Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
- Using a sharp knife, slice a pocket into the side of each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through.
- In a bowl, combine roasted red peppers, spinach, mozzarella, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Stuff each chicken breast with the pepper and spinach mixture, then secure with toothpicks if needed.
- Brush chicken with olive oil, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, and place in the prepared baking dish.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
