- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (freshly grated)
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tbsp olive oil (extra virgin)
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 tbsp lemon juice (fresh)
Instructions

- In a bowl, mix softened cream cheese, chopped spinach, garlic powder, and Parmesan until smooth.
- Slice each chicken breast horizontally to create pockets without cutting all the way through.
- Generously stuff each pocket with the spinach mixture; secure with toothpicks if necessary.

- Transfer to a baking dish, pour chicken broth around the chicken, and bake for 20-25 minutes until cooked through (165°F internal temperature).
