1 tbsp parmesan cheese

1 cup fresh spinach

1 clove garlic

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

• 2

  In a small mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, cream cheese, parmesan, and minced garlic until the mixture is smooth.

• 3

  Finely chop the fresh spinach and fold it into the cheese mixture until well incorporated.

• 4

  Carefully cut a horizontal pocket into the thickest part of the chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through.

• 5

  Spoon the spinach and cheese filling into the pocket and secure the opening with two wooden toothpicks.

• 6

  Season both sides of the stuffed chicken breast evenly with sea salt and black pepper.

• 7

  Heat the extra virgin olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.

• 8

  Place the chicken in the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes per side until a golden crust forms.

• 9

  Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

  While the chicken rests for 5 minutes, steam the broccoli florets until tender-crisp and serve alongside the chicken.
