Ingredients:

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

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

4. In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked spinach, garlic, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create the stuffing.

5. Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound to an even thickness of about 1/4 inch.

6. Season each chicken breast with salt and pepper. Spoon the spinach and cheese stuffing onto each chicken breast.

7. Roll up the chicken breasts and secure with toothpicks to hold the stuffing inside.

8. Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add a little olive oil.

9. Sear the stuffed chicken breasts on all sides until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

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

11. Remove toothpicks before serving.

12. Serve the stuffed chicken breasts hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.

Special Tips or Variations:

- You can customize the stuffing by adding sun-dried tomatoes or roasted red peppers for extra flavor.

- If you prefer a crispy exterior, you can dredge the stuffed chicken breasts in beaten egg and almond flour before searing.
