Ingredients
  

For the Vegan “Chicken”:
  • Plant-based chicken breasts – 4 pieces
  • Olive oil – 2 tbsp
  • Salt – to taste
  • Pepper – ¼ tsp
  • Paprika – ½ tsp
For the Filling:
  • Spinach chopped – 2 cups
  • Garlic minced – 2 cloves
  • Vegan cream cheese – ½ cup
  • Vegan mozzarella shredded – ½ cup
  • Nutritional yeast – 1 tbsp
  • Olive oil – 1 tbsp
  • Salt – a pinch

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F). Lightly grease a baking dish because you deserve an easy cleanup.
  2. Heat olive oil in a pan and sauté garlic until fragrant.
  3. Add spinach and cook until wilted and bright green.
  4. Stir in vegan cream cheese, mozzarella, nutritional yeast, and a pinch of salt. Mix until creamy perfection.
  5. Slice each vegan chicken breast horizontally to form a pocket — careful, not a full cut.
  6. Spoon the spinach filling generously into each pocket.
  7. Secure with toothpicks like the multitasking genius you are.
  8. Rub the stuffed “chicken” with olive oil, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  9. Heat a pan and sear each side for 2–3 minutes until golden brown.
  10. Transfer to a baking dish and bake for 20–25 minutes until juicy, sizzling, and heavenly.
  11. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing — anticipation is part of the magic.
