-
8 oz cream cheese, softened
-
12 oz chopped spinach
-
6 oz sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
-
1 cup Mozzarella or Queso cheese
-
2 tsp Tony Chachere’s Spice N’ Herbs Seasoning
For the Cream Sauce:

1 cup heavy cream
-
2 tsp oil from sun-dried tomatoes
-
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
-
1 tsp Tony Chachere’s Spice N’ Herbs Seasoning

Instructions
-
Slice each chicken breast in half lengthwise to create a pocket.
-
Marinate the chicken in the marinade for at least 30 minutes.
-
In a bowl, mix together the cream cheese, spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, Mozzarella, and seasoning until well combined.
-
Stuff each chicken breast evenly with the mixture and secure with toothpicks.
-
Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for about 10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
-
In a saucepan over medium-high heat, melt butter and add the heavy cream, sun-dried tomato oil, Parmesan, and seasoning. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for 5 minutes.
-
Remove the toothpicks, serve the grilled stuffed chicken with the cream sauce drizzled on top, and enjoy!
Notes
-
Be sure to check the internal temperature of the chicken to ensure it’s cooked through (165°F/75°C).
-
If you prefer a different cheese, you can substitute the mozzarella or queso with a cheese of your choice.
-
For added flavor, garnish with fresh herbs or extra sun-dried tomatoes.
