Instructions:
  • Prepare the filling by heating oil in a small frying pan over medium heat. Sauté garlic for 1 minute until fragrant. Add spinach and cook for 3 minutes until wilted. Let it cool, then chop it and place in a bowl. Mix in cream cheese, mozzarella, parmesan, lemon rind, and season generously. Combine well and set aside.

  • Slice the stuffed chicken breasts generously and present them with a luscious drizzle of the cheesy sauce and a sprinkle of parsley.
