Preheat your oven to 375° F. Lay each chicken breast flat on a cutting board, and using a sharp knife, slice each breast horizontally in half, creating a 'pocket'. Be careful not to cut all the way through.

In a bowl, combine the minced garlic, pesto, cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, chopped sundried tomatoes, and chopped spinach. Stir until well combined.
