These stuffed chicken thighs filled with spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, and creamy cheese are perfect for weeknight dinners and special occasions alike.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Toothpicks or kitchen twine

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a baking dish or an oven-safe skillet.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix together the chopped spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, softened cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning until well combined.
  3. Pound the chicken thighs on a cutting board to achieve an even thickness, then season both sides with salt and pepper.
  4. Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the filling mixture onto each chicken thigh. Roll them tightly and secure with toothpicks or kitchen twine.
  5. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear each stuffed chicken thigh for 2-3 minutes per side, until they’re golden brown.
  6. Transfer the skillet to your preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  7. Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before removing the toothpicks or twine. Slice, serve, and enjoy the delightful flavors!

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven to maintain moisture. Feel free to customize the filling with different ingredients.
