- Stuff each chicken breast with the mushroom and spinach mixture, and sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
- Secure the openings with toothpicks to hold the stuffing in place.
- Place the stuffed chicken breasts in a baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and golden.
- Remove the toothpicks before serving. Serve the Mushroom and Spinach Stuffed Chicken Breast with your favorite side dishes.
