Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. In a skillet, heat some olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

3. Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and sauté until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

4. In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed spinach and garlic with the shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, dried oregano, and dried basil. Mix well to combine.

5. Using a sharp knife, make a deep slit in each chicken breast to create a pocket without cutting all the way through.

6. Stuff each chicken breast with the spinach and cheese mixture, dividing it evenly among the breasts.

7. Season the stuffed chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil.

8. Heat some olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the stuffed chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.

9. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

10. Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.

11. Serve the garlic spinach stuffed chicken breasts hot, garnished with extra grated Parmesan cheese and fresh herbs if desired.

Special Tips or Variations:

- Feel free to customize the filling by adding sun-dried tomatoes, roasted red peppers, or different types of cheese.

- You can pound the chicken breasts slightly to ensure even cooking and make it easier to stuff them.

- Serve the stuffed chicken with a side of roasted vegetables or a simple salad for a complete meal.
