Low-carb and Keto-friendly, spinach-stuffed chicken breasts are sure to become a new family favorite. Baked spinach-stuffed chicken breasts may look complicated but are easier to make than they look.

Use a sharp knife or kitchen shears to butterfly the chicken. Butterflying means you cut the chicken breasts nearly in half horizontally, leaving about a half-inch of flesh connecting the two sides. Try not to cut your chicken breast all the way through, but if you do, you can use a toothpick to secure it back together.

The seasoning I used on these chicken breasts consisted of smoked paprika, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder. Your favorite chicken seasoning can be used instead if you prefer. Season the inside and outside of the chicken breasts.

The filling is a mixture of cream cheese, parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, mayonnaise, garlic, and spinach. Fresh or frozen spinach can be used in this recipe: 1-1/2 cups of fresh spinach, chopped, or a 10-ounce package of frozen spinach, thawed. If you use frozen, make sure to squeeze out as much water as you can before adding it to your cream cheese mixture.

After you stuff your chicken full of spinach and cheese, you can seal the chicken breasts with a toothpick to prevent all the goodness from leaking out. Make sure to remove the toothpicks before serving. When I cook these on the BBQ, I wrap them in bacon to help keep them moist.

Bake uncovered in a preheated 375°F oven for 30-40 minutes. Cooking time will vary based on chicken breast size. When in doubt, use a meat thermometer to make sure it reaches the poultry-safe cooked temperature of 165°F.

Chicken breasts can vary in size. The ones I used were quite large, even cut in half and served as half portions, and they were quite filling. Leftovers can be kept in the fridge for 3-4 days. They can easily be reheated in the oven, microwave, or air fryer.
