advice
Before using chopped spinach, make sure to dry it well after cooking to avoid liquid buildup in the stuffing, which could affect the texture of the chicken. You can chill the spinach and cheese stuffing slightly before stuffing the chicken breasts to make the stuffing process easier and to achieve a firmer texture.
