Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté minced garlic for about 30 seconds, then add chopped spinach and cook for 3-4 minutes until wilted.
- In a mixing bowl, combine wilted spinach, dried cranberries, goat cheese, cream cheese, salt, black pepper, and thyme. Mix well.
- Butterfly each chicken breast carefully by slicing horizontally without cutting all the way through.
- Season both inside and outside of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.
- Fill each chicken breast with the spinach and cranberry filling, pressing gently to pack it in.
- Secure each stuffed chicken breast with toothpicks or kitchen twine.
- Place the stuffed chicken breasts in a greased baking dish, pour chicken broth around them.
- Drizzle balsamic vinegar on top of the stuffed chicken breasts if using.
- Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 15-20 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Remove toothpicks or twine before slicing.
