Ingredients

  • 700 g Meat, chicken, breasts

  • 150 g Spinach, raw

  • 130 g Cheese, Gorgonzola

  • 3 pinch Spices, pepper, black

  • 0.25 teaspoons Salt, table

  • 4 spoon Oil, olive

Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Thoroughly wash and dry the chicken breast halves with paper towels. Make a deep cut in each half with a knife to create a pocket.

  2. Clean, wash, and dry the spinach leaves. Place a pan on the stove and heat a little oil. Add the dried spinach leaves to the hot oil and quickly sauté them—just enough to soften the leaves and evaporate the moisture.

  3. Crumble the Gorgonzola into a bowl with your fingers. Add the spinach leaves and a little pepper, then mix everything well. Stuff the chicken breasts with the prepared mixture. Season with pepper and salt to taste. Secure the edges of the pockets with toothpicks.

  4. Place the stuffed chicken breasts in a greased baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes.
