1
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
2
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with Kosher salt and black pepper, then place aside. We will come back for them later.
3
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat up the olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté the mix until it turns soft and fragrant, which should take about 3-5 minutes.
4
Add the chopped fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until the leaves have wilted. This will take approximately 2-3 minutes.
5
Turn off the heat and stir in shredded Italian cheese blend, Parmesan, egg yolk, dried oregano, and ground nutmeg until well combined.
6
When the filling mixture has cooled a bit, stuff it straight into the sides of each chicken breast. You don't need to carve a pocket — just make sure it's well pushed in.
7
Place the stuffed chicken back in the skillet. Cook on one side for 5-7 minutes on medium-high heat until golden, then carefully flip each breast. Cook for another 5 minutes.
8
Transfer the skillet into the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes. The chicken will be done when its internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
9
Give the stuffed chicken a good rest of around 5 minutes before serving. This locks in the delicious juices, making it extra tender.

Enjoy each bite of this cheesy and spinach-rich chicken dish solo or pair it with a crisp, green salad!
