4. Stuff each chicken breast with the spinach and cheese mixture.
5. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the stuffed chicken breasts until they are golden brown on both sides.
6. Transfer the seared chicken breasts to a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
7. Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
