Stuffed Tuscan Garlic Chicken are tender and juicy chicken stuffed with mozzarella cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, and spinach that gets baked in a creamy garlic sauce. This meal will blow the family away!
I have finally jumped on the stuffed chicken boat. It is mega popular right now and oh boy, why did I wait so long!? I took the ultra mega popular Creamy Tuscan Garlic Chicken that is on my site and made something incredible. A thick chicken breast gets coated in italian seasoning and stuffed to the brim with mozzarella cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, and spinach. It takes no time at all before it is in the oven and on the dinner table for the family to devour.
The chicken gets pan seared before it enters the oven. The cheese just starts to melt and is so ooey gooey delicious. I went back and forth trying to decide if I should bake it in a creamy sauce because the chicken is so delicious on its own. But I made the decision to bake it in a creamy garlic sauce and it was the BEST decision!
As soon as this chicken comes out of the oven you can just see the melty cheese just oozing out of the sides. And the smell of the sun dried tomatoes and seasonings is incredible. My family could not eat this meal fast enough!
This is truly a restaurant quality meal that you can make right at home. You are going to impress even yourself on this one! This is hands down one of the best things that has happened to this blog. Your family is going to go crazy for this recipe just like we did!

Stuffed Tuscan Garlic Chicken
Ingredients
- 3 large chicken breasts
- 6 slices mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil cut into slices
- 2 cups spinach
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil divided
- 1 Tablespoon Italian Seasoning
Creamy Garlic Sauce:
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon italian seasoning
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Prepare the chicken by cutting slits into the sides. Stuff the chicken by placing the cheese on the bottom, followed by sun-dried tomatoes, and spinach. Seal with toothpicks by placing them in diagonally.
- Use 1 Tablespoon of the olive oil and coat the chicken with the oil and italian seasoning. Add a tablespoon of oil to a large skillet. Sear each side of the chicken until golden brown.
- To make the creamy garlic sauce, in a small bowl whisk the heavy cream, chicken broth, garlic powder, italian seasoning and parmesan cheese. Pour in the bottom of the skillet surrounding the chicken.
- Place in the oven and bake for 20 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and chicken is cooked until no longer pink.

Looks great, will try this week. How long do you sear/brown the chicken breast? Also could I use Half & Half instead of cream? Thanks
Just brown the chicken for a couple of minutes until the outside is golden brown. Yes, you can use half and half instead!
Having made this recipe, would you say that adding paper-thin prosciutto (as a lining for the spinach mix inside the breast or wrapped around the stuffed breast) would be a bridge too far?
Also, will I have enough sauce for a pasta side? If not, can you recommend an alternative?
I haven’t tried the prosciutto idea! Let me know if you try it. There is very little sauce left for pasta. I would recommend either doubling the sauce ingredients or Alfredo Sauce: https://therecipecritic.com/the-best-homemade-alfredo-sauce-ever/.
This is the best recipe ever we have it at least once a week sometimes twice. It’s mine and my husbands favorite
I am going to attempt to make this tonight or later this week but can I just say that I LOVE this blog. I wish I’d found this sooner! You have sooooo many delicious looking recipes. There is so much variety that I had to share with my friend. I am in awe that this is free information. I really appreciate the time you put into everything from the pictures to the detailed recipes and the presentation. You are a recipe angel! lol Thank you!
Can you use veggie stock instead of chicken…….want to make it tonight…sounds so YUMMY
Yes, that sounds great! Enjoy your chicken! XOXO
Alyssa….I regularly use one of your recipies, and am never disappointed…..I’m confused about your Stuffed Tuscan Garlic Chicken….you talk about adding/making the “creamy”sauce, but never mention what you do with it in the instructions….in the picture you show the chicken breast in the skillet…..after you bake them, than what???
I tried this recipe for the first time and it was absolutely delicious, thank you so much for sharing I now have a favorite fancy dish to make for my wedding anniversary. I only changed the powder garlic for fresh since I love fresh garlic but other than that wouldn’t change a thing.
Can I make the creamy Tuscan chicken a day ahead?
Yes, you can. I would recommend warming it up in the oven. It may not taste as good as cooked but it will still be delicious! XOXO
I made this dish for my family night and it was a hit. Then i posted pictures on Snapchat and my inbox was flooded with people drooling over it and asking for the recipe! Definitely will be making this again.
