Ingredients
  

For the Chicken:

  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon mild paprika optional
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste

For the Spinach Artichoke Filling:

  • 4 ounces frozen spinach thawed and squeezed dry
  • 8 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese softened
  • 6 ounces canned artichoke hearts finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup finely grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • Salt to taste

For the Optional Cream Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup leftover spinach artichoke dip
  • 1 cup half-and-half or heavy cream

Instructions
 

Prep the Chicken:

  • Lay each chicken breast flat on a cutting board. Season both sides with Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper. Carefully cut a deep pocket into each breast, stopping before slicing all the way through.

Make the Filling:

  • In a bowl, combine the thawed and drained spinach, cream cheese, chopped artichoke hearts, mozzarella, parmesan, and garlic. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Stuff the Chicken:

  • Spoon 1–2 tablespoons of the mixture into each chicken pocket. Press the filling evenly using the back of a spoon. Use toothpicks to secure the openings.

Cook the Chicken:

  • Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat with 1 tablespoon of oil. Sear the chicken for 6–7 minutes on each side, or until golden and fully cooked through. Cover the skillet with a lid during the second half of cooking to ensure even doneness. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.

Optional Cream Sauce:

  • In the same skillet, stir the remaining dip with the half-and-half or cream. Simmer over medium heat until thickened. Return the chicken to the pan, spooning sauce over the top. Serve hot.
