Spinach, Sun Dried Tomato, and Cheese Stuffed Chicken Meal Prep

Okay I know putting spinach and sun dried tomato together is not exactly groundbreaking but for some reason, I never thought to meal prep it. I love making stuffed chicken as a weeknight dinner and it looks fancy enough to serve to guests (without taking too much effort haha) so the other day when I was craving it at work, it hit me, “why haven’t I done a meal prep with stuffed chicken?”

Stuffed chicken is one of my favourite recipes because it is a very adaptable recipe.

You can mix and match vegetables, cheeses, herbs. From stuffed your chicken breast with mushrooms, cheese, and basil, to cream cheese with a mix of herbs and bacon, I promise that you’ll find a combination that you’ll fall in love with.

Hell, if you’re feeling a little bit extra and want to impress, you can even wrap the whole chicken with prosciutto, bacon, breadcrumbs, and more! So if you don’t have the ingredients listed down below for your meal prep, you can definitely find something to stuff your chicken with in your pantry!

How To Stuff Your Chicken Breasts

This Spinach, Sun Dried Tomato, and Cheese Stuffed Chicken Meal Prep will have you asking for more as it is stuffed with flavour without having to spend time marinating!

There are a few methods of stuffing chicken breasts:

  • Pound out the chicken breasts so they are nice and thin. Place your stuffings evenly across the breast and roll the breast up kind of like a fruit roll up.
  • At the top of your chicken breast (the round part, not the pointy bottom), stick your pairing knife into it and wiggle it back and forth like a windshield wiper, careful to make sure the “hole” you’re making doesn’t poke out the sides of the chicken. Stuff your stuffing into the hole.
  • The method I’m using today: butterfly cut your chicken breast open, place your stuffing in the middle, and then use toothpicks to close up the breast and seal it. This method uses the most toothpicks but can fit more stuffing that the pocket style and doesn’t require pounding the breast out.

Tips and Tricks for Making the Perfect Spinach, Sun Dried Tomato, and Cheese Stuffed Chicken Meal Prep

  • I wanted to be a little bit extra so I used some panko on the chicken because I wanted it to have an extra crunch. This is optional if you don’t want to
  • If you want to add more flavour to the breading, you can add some cheese/salt/pepper/garlic powder/etc to the panko
  • I layered my cheese first on the chicken then between the spinach and sun dried tomato
  • You can use a sheet pan instead of a cast iron as you don’t want to over crowd your pan and the cast iron can only fit so many chickens
  • I use these Glasslock square airtight containers
