Ingredients

For the Chicken Breast

  • Chicken Breast : 4 
  • Philadelphia Cheese : 100 grams
  • Fresh Spinach : 100 grams
  • Parmesan cheese (Shredded) : 50 grams
  • Garlic Cloves : 2 
  • Olive oil : 1 tablespoon
  • Salt : 1 pinch
  • Pepper : 1 pinch

For the Creamy Sauce

  • Whipping cream 30% : 250 milliliters
  • Garlic Cloves : 2 
  • Mustard : 1 teaspoon
  • Yellow lemon : 1 tablespoon
  • Parmesan cheese : 50 grams
  • Salt : 1 pinch
  • Pepper : 1 pinch
  • Fresh parsley : To Taste 

Preparation steps

  • Prepare the pilaf rice and set aside.

  • Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
    Add the minced garlic and fresh spinach.
    Sauté until the spinach is just wilted.

  • Remove from heat and mix with the cream cheese and grated cheese.
    Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

  • Make an incision in the center of each chicken breast to create a pocket (without cutting all the way through).
    Fill the pockets with the spinach and cheese mixture, then secure with toothpicks or kitchen twine to prevent the filling from escaping.

  • Heat a pan over medium heat with a little olive oil.
    Sear the stuffed chicken breasts for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
    Transfer the chicken breasts to a baking dish and bake at 190°C (375°F) for 20 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked through.

    Season with salt, pepper, and a bit of fresh parsley.

  • Remove the toothpicks or twine from the chicken breasts.
    Place the stuffed chicken breasts on plates and drizzle with the creamy garlic sauce.
    Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with pilaf rice.
