  2. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds, then add spinach and cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Fold in the roasted red peppers.
  3. Open the butterfly pocket of each chicken breast. Layer mozzarella slices at the base, then add the spinach and pepper mixture. Fold chicken over and secure with toothpicks.
  4. Heat olive oil and butter in the skillet. Add the stuffed chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and reaches 165°F (74°C).
  5. Transfer the chicken to a plate and let it rest for 5 minutes. Serve alongside your favorite sides.
