Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chopped fresh spinach (or thawed frozen spinach, well drained)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a medium bowl, mix cream cheese, mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic, chopped spinach, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  • Using a sharp knife, carefully slice a pocket into each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through.
  • Season the chicken all over with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Stuff each chicken breast with the spinach cheese mixture. Secure the opening with toothpicks to keep the filling inside.
  • Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Sear the stuffed chicken breasts for 3–4 minutes per side, until golden brown.
  • Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Remove from oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Remove toothpicks before eating.
