• Heat a large cast iron over medium-high heat. Add in 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add in the garlic, onion, and roasted peppers. Cook, stirring for 2-3 minutes, then add in the spinach and 3 of the diced tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until the spinach has wilted slightly.

Taste and adjust seasoning (be sure to adequately season.) Remove the pan from the heat and set aside. With a slotted spoon, remove about 1 cup of the mixture to a bowl and allow it to cool slightly. With a sharp knife, make a pocket in each chicken breast. Sprinkle the inside with a little salt and pepper. Stuff each pocket with 1/4 of the cooled mix. Seal the chicken breasts with 3 toothpicks to keep the mixture from falling out while cooking. Season the outside of the chicken with salt and pepper.
