Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Sauté chopped onion and minced garlic until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Add fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.

Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

In a bowl, combine cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, lemon juice, dried oregano, and fresh basil.

Stir in the sautéed spinach mixture until well combined.

Slice a pocket into each chicken breast without cutting all the way through.

Stuff each chicken breast with the spinach mixture and secure with toothpicks if necessary.

Season the outside of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.

Place the stuffed chicken breasts in a baking dish and sprinkle breadcrumbs on top.

Top with shredded mozzarella cheese for added flavor.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.

Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
