Ingredients:

Chicken	-	2 breast
Spinach	-	10-12 leaves
Onion	-	1/2 Cup Finely Chopped
Garlic	-	5-6 cloves crushed
Cheese	-	1/2 Cup grated
Bread Crumbs	-	1/2 Cup
Parmesan Cheese	-	1/2 Cup grated
Black Pepper Powder	-	1 teaspoon
Olive Oil	-	1/4 Cup
Salt	-	very little

Method:

Carefully slit the chicken into halves but do not cut it completely. In a pan, add olive oil. Once the oil is hot add garlic and saute it. Take out the oil and garlic in a plate. Chop 5-6 spinach leaves. Pre-heat oven at 425 degree F. In a same pan add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Then add onion and saute it. Add chopped spinach leaves and saute. Take out the mix in a plate and let it cool. Once it is cold, add grated cheese and little salt and mix. In another plate take bread crumbs and parmesan cheese and mix them well. Take chicken breast, open the slit carefully and place the whole spinach leaves on both the side Spread the onion-spinach mixture on chicken evenly. Close the chicken breast with the other half of chicken. Take a oven safe plate and keep a wire rack on top of it. Carefully take the stuffed chicken breast, dip it in garlic and oil mix on both the side then carefully dip it in bread crumbs and parmesan cheese mix from both the side. Place the chicken on wire rack which is kept on oven safe plate so the water of chicken will drip into the plate and chicken will come out nice dry and crisp. Repeat the same step to stuff the other chicken breast. Keep the oven safe plate with chicken in oven. Bake it for 30-35 mins or the chicken is fully cooked or till the internal temperature of chicken reaches 165 degree F. Once the chicken is fully cooked take out from the oven and serve.

Note:

I used Fat Free Sharp Cheddar cheese. To check the internal temperature of chicken, I used cooking thermometer.
