Preparation

Preparation

1. Prepare the Spinach Filling

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

2. Mix the Filling

In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked spinach, ricotta cheese, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Cooking

3. Prepare the Chicken

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Take each chicken breast and make a pocket by slicing it horizontally, being careful not to cut all the way through. Season the inside and outside of the chicken with salt and black pepper.

4. Stuff the Chicken

Spoon the spinach and ricotta mixture into each chicken breast pocket. Use toothpicks to secure the opening if necessary. Place the stuffed chicken breasts in a baking dish.

5. Add Mozzarella and Lemon Juice

Top each stuffed chicken breast with mozzarella cheese and drizzle with lemon juice. Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the top.

6. Bake the Chicken

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear. The internal temperature should reach 75°C (165°F).

Serving

7. Garnish and Serve

Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
