Prepare the Chicken:<\/strong> Butterfly each chicken breast by slicing horizontally, creating a pocket for the stuffing. Season with salt and pepper both inside and out.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n

3<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Make the Filling:<\/strong> In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Saut\u00e9 chopped mushrooms until they release their moisture. Add garlic and spinach, cooking until the spinach wilts. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n

\n\n
4<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Prepare the Stuffing:<\/strong> In a bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Add the saut\u00e9ed mushroom and spinach mixture. Mix well.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n
