Heat your oven to 375° F.Place the chicken on a cutting board. With a small sharp knife, carefully cut a pocket into the side of the chicken breasts. Take care not to cut all the way through. You are creating a "pocket" for all the filling to bake in.Season the chicken with salt, inside and out. In a small bowl, mix the garlic, pesto, cream cheese and mozzarella. Set aside. Layer the inside pockets of your chicken with the cream cheese mixture, sun-dried tomatoes and spinach. Secure the opening with toothpicks if desired.Heat the olive oil in a cast iron pan, or oven proof skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken on both sides for 3-4 minutes each, until golden brown. Place all four breasts back into the pan (or on a baking sheet if you are not using an oven proof skillet) and place them in the oven until the internal temperature of the chicken breast is 165°F. This takes about 16-18 minutes longer depending on the size of the breast.Sprinkle with parsley (if using) and serve.
