Chicken breasts stuffed with mozzarella, tomatoes, and spinach bake on a bed of crisp sliced white bread. Five to six deep slits are cut into each breast and filled with mozzarella and tomato slices. The bread is drizzled with olive oil, rubbed with garlic, and topped with baby spinach, then the chicken is placed on top and baked for about half an hour at 190 °C (375 °F). The cheese and tomatoes help keep the chicken from drying out, and the dish adds a festive touch to an everyday meal.

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Trim the chicken breasts and carefully cut about 5–6 deep slits into each breast, about 1 cm apart, without cutting all the way through. Slice the mozzarella and tomatoes and tuck them into the slits. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil.
Drizzle the bread slices with olive oil and top with crushed garlic and spinach.
Tip: Fresh baby spinach leaves work best.
Place the prepared chicken breasts on the bread slices and bake in an oven preheated to 190 °C (375 °F) for about half an hour.
Sprinkle the chicken breasts with Parmesan just before the end of baking.

Tip: Pat the mozzarella and tomato slices dry with a towel before stuffing them into the chicken to keep the bread underneath from getting soggy. Check for doneness between the slits—the meat there should be white, not pink.
