Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp butter or olive oil
  • 4 chicken breasts, butterflied
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp italian spices
  • ¼ cup parmesan cheese
  • 4 oz cream cheese
  • ¼ cup spinach
  • ¼ diced roasted red pepper strips

Instructions

  • In a large pan, heat oil or butter on medium high until shimmery or foamy.
  • Generously salt and pepper chicken.
  • Add chicken, butterflied, to pan (so it cooks flat).
  • Cook 5 minutes on each side, until well browned and internal temperature has reached 150 degrees.
  • While chicken is cooking, mix all other ingredients in a bowl.
  • Add cheese and spinach mixture to one browned side of the chicken breast, and fold in half.
  • Cook an additional 3-4 minutes per side to melt cheese and bring chicken to 165 degrees internal temperature (be sure to measure the temp of the chicken - not the filling!)
