Cut up your onion, peppers, spinach and sun dried tomatoes. Begin to stuff the pocket with the onions, pepper, mozzarella, feta cheese, and spinach until full. Using a toothpick, close the opening of the chicken.

 

(optional ) Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top of the chicken.

Now there are 2 ways to cook the chicken. The first way is searing the chicken in a pan. Heat up some olive oil in a pan place chicken in, Sear for 1-2 minutes each side. When done place into the oven. Continue to bake for 20-25 minutes until chicken is done.

Another way is to just bake the chicken for 25 minutes.
