How to Make Elegant Stuffed Chicken Breast
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Defrost spinach completely. Squeeze out excess water. Add 2 cloves minced garlic and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg. Mix well and set aside.
- In a small saucepan, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons honey, 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, and 1 tablespoon cornstarch. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
- Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- Butterfly each chicken breast (slice horizontally almost all the way through to create a pocket). Place a 1-ounce wedge of cheese in each pocket, followed by 2 ounces of the spinach mixture. Season with freshly ground black pepper.
- Close the chicken breasts and place them in a lightly oiled oven-safe baking dish.
- Brush the tops of the chicken breasts with the soy-honey glaze. (No need to glaze the undersides).
- Sprinkle generously with 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs (or fresh breadcrumbs).
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the breadcrumbs are golden brown. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
