Instructions
Preparation

Notes
Make sure not to overstuff the chicken, as it can burst while baking. Use fresh spinach for the best flavor, but frozen spinach can work too – just make sure to drain the excess water. Feel free to add spices or herbs to the stuffing mixture for more flavor, such as Italian seasoning or crushed red pepper.
