1 Baking Dish or Casserole Dish
1 Pounder
1 Knife

Ingredients

1 Buffalo Mozzarella
2 Chicken Breasts
1/2 Cup Frozen Spinach
Seasoning - alternative

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Start by prepping all your ingredients. Thaw and drain the spinach, slice or shred your mozzarella, and prepare your seasonings. At the same time, preheat the oven to 400 Fahrenheit (200 Celsius).
If you’re using fresh chicken breasts, cut them in half and pound them out to an even thickness. This will ensure they cook evenly and quickly.
Place the spinach and some mozzarella into the center of each chicken breast, then roll or fold them over to enclose the filling.
Place the stuffed chicken breasts into your casserole dish, add spinach in between the rolls of chicken and place the remaining mozzarella on top. Bake in the oven for 45 minutes at 400 Fahrenheit (200 Celsius) or until the chicken is cooked and the cheese is bubbly.

Notes

For an extra layer of flavor, marinate the chicken breasts in olive oil, garlic, and herbs for a few hours before baking. Top with French fried onions for some crispy goodness.
Add chopped bell peppers or mushrooms to the casserole before baking if you want more veggies.
Let the casserole rest for a few minutes after baking, so the juices settle, making it easier to serve.
Adding creams like cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom, or cream of celery can make this recipe even more enjoyable.
