Whipping up a decadent creamy stuffed chicken dish for dinner probably seems like it takes too much work, but I assure you, it's actually easy! Your family will think you slaved over this meal for hours, when in reality this easy chicken dinner only takes about 20 minutes to make. You can make the creamy sauce and pasta while the chicken cooks, and it's done in a snap!

Ever since I started cooking, I have been obsessed with making stuffed chicken. When I was 19 I hosted my first dinner party, and I served a creamy stuffed chicken that had feta and pesto - everyone loved it. I was hooked since then! Coming up with different combos is delicious and easy!

I love cooking with roasted red peppers and it's actually super easy to make them yourself (recipe here), but you can also buy them at the local grocery store or online.

How to make Creamy Stuffed Chicken:

**scroll down for full ingredients list and printable directions**

  • Gather the ingredients. Mix the cream cheese, spinach, roasted red peppers (learn how to make roasted red peppers yourself with this recipe), parmesan cheese, and seasonings in a bowl.
  • Slice a pocket into the chicken breasts, taking care not to slice through the bottom or opposite side. I recommend using a small paring knife for this step.
  • Stuff about ⅓ cup of the spinach mixture into the pockets, then seal the seam with a toothpick or two. Reserve remaining spinach mixture.
  • Using a grill pan or an actual grill, place chicken breasts over medium heat, and cook for about 5 minutes on each side.

How to make the Creamy Sauce:

**scroll down for full ingredients list and printable directions**

  • In a small sauce pot, melt butter and sauté garlic. Add chopped green onions, remaining cream cheese, milk (can use regular, soy, or almond milk), and parmesan cheese; mix until melted and well combined.
  • Add remaining spinach mixture to the sauce; stir in using a fork. Simmer until thickened and everything is melted and combined. Keep over low heat, mixing occasionally until the chicken and pasta are ready.

How to Serve Creamy Stuffed Chicken:

  • Serve the Creamy Stuffed Chicken over pasta. Using whole wheat pasta or linguine are great options. The sauce is SO delicious that you need to have another venue to enjoy it; pasta is perfect.
  • Cutting carbs? Serve over Zucchini Noodles. Zucchini noodles have the perfect texture to compliment this recipe.
  • Another great option would be to serve this Creamy Chicken over cauliflower rice. The sauce would really bring together the cauliflower rice and almost mimic a 'mac' and cheese.
