Chicken breasts stuffed with mozzarella, salsiccia and spinach – wonderfully juicy and very easy to make. Stuffed chicken breast goes with all sorts of sides – a good pasta salad, crushed potatoes, boiled rice or pasta, whatever you prefer.
If you can’t get hold of salsiccia, use another well-seasoned sausage for the filling in your stuffed chicken breasts – chorizo or similar works beautifully. If you like lamb, merguez is also a good choice.
I sear the chicken breasts in a pan first, just enough to brown them – I find it gives the chicken a better flavour. You can also put them straight into the oven with the filling, without searing them first – then give them a quick blast under the grill at the end for a little colour, if you like.

Method
- Trim the chicken breasts and season them with salt and pepper.
- Heat a little oil in a frying pan and sear the chicken breasts very briefly on both sides. They should only just take on colour, not cook through.
- Take the chicken breasts out of the pan, place them on a chopping board and cut a deep slit in each one, so they have a deep pocket for the filling.
- Slice the mozzarella and tuck the slices into the pockets in the chicken breasts.
- Then squeeze the meat out of the salsiccia skins, place it on top of the cheese and finish with a small handful of spinach. *If you like, you can fry the sausage meat in a little oil first – but it isn’t necessary. It all cooks through perfectly in the oven.The pockets don’t need to close – so fill them generously; the more the better.
- Return them to the pan, or place them in an ovenproof dish brushed with a little oil – and bake in a preheated conventional oven (top and bottom heat) at 180°C for about 25-30 minutes – depending on the size of the chicken breasts.
