Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 4 large chicken breasts
  • 1 cup dragon fruit, diced
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Tip: Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
  2. In a bowl, combine diced dragon fruit, chopped spinach, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Tip: Mix gently to avoid crushing the dragon fruit.
  3. Cut a pocket into each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through. Tip: Use a sharp knife for precision.
  4. Stuff each chicken breast with the dragon fruit and spinach mixture. Tip: Pack the filling tightly to prevent it from falling out.
  5. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Tip: Searing locks in the juices.
  6. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Tip: Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
  7. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Tip: Resting ensures the chicken stays juicy.
