Ingredients
  • 2 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • 1-2 Cups Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
  • 1 Red Pepper
  • 1 Bunch of Basil (Whole leaves)
  • 1 Bunch of Spinach
  • 1 TBS Italian Seasoning
  • Salt and Pepper for Seasoning
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease a small casserole dish (Pyrex or Revol - use closer to 9x13 if you double the recipe). Cut the pepper into thin slices. Saute until soft. Filet the chicken stopping about a ¼ inch from the opposite side. Add the Italian Seasoning, Salt and Pepper to the inside of the chicken breast. Layer on the chicken with the peppers, spinach, and basil and covered with the sprinkled mozzarella. Fold the chicken flap over and tuck the insides in if necessary. Sprinkle Italian seasoning on top of the chicken breasts. Place any remaining peppers slices in the dish around the chicken. Bake the chicken for about 35 minutes. Pull the dish out, turn the oven to broil, and top each chicken piece with more mozzarella cheese. Place back into the oven and broil about 5 minutes or until cheese is browned and bubbly.
