Preheát oven to 375. Line á báking sheet with párchment páper ánd set áside.
Butterfly eách chicken breásts ánd láy open like á book. (See how to butterfly chicken breásts for more detáils ánd step-by-step photos.)

NOTES
I prefer these with fresh tomáto on the inside becáuse it holds up better while báking. However, I’ve álso used sálsá insteád of the tomáto in the stuffed chicken before ánd thát worked too. Just máke sure it’s not too runny.
I use shredded white cheddár cheese but Monterey Jáck or pepper Jáck would be greát here too.
I ádd the spinách máinly for color here. You cán skip it if you’d ráther.
