Directions
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease a 9-inch baking dish.
  • Remove the bones from the chicken breasts. Do not remove the skin but loosen it from the meat.
  • In a medium-size bowl, mix the cheese, spinach, and garlic powder until well blended.
  • Between the meat and skin of each chicken breast, stuff one-quarter of the cheese and spinach mixture. Smooth the skin over the breasts and tuck under any loose areas.
  • Place the chicken, skin side up, in the baking dish. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper and drizzle the breasts with the melted butter.
  • Bake the chicken uncovered 45 to 55 minutes until the juices run clear or when the center of the thickest part reaches 170°F on a meat thermometer.
