These chicken breasts are stuffed with spinach dip. The dip is just a simple combination of cream cheese, spinach, mozzarella cheese and garlic powder. The chicken breasts are sliced in half and then stuff with the dip mixture and then coated with breadcrumbs and fried in the pan. The chicken is then baked in the oven to finish the cooking process. If you want you could skip the pan-frying and just bake it in the oven but it may take a few minutes longer to cook. I like to serve this chicken with wild rice. Enjoy.
