4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
Salt & pepper, to taste
1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish.
2. In a bowl, mix chopped spinach, cream cheese, mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic, salt, and pepper.
3. Slice a pocket into the side of each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through.
4. Stuff each chicken breast with the spinach mixture and secure with toothpicks if needed.
5. Brush chicken with olive oil and season with paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
6. Place in the baking dish and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until chicken reaches 165°F internally.
7. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
• Use frozen spinach (thawed and drained) if fresh isn’t available.
• Add sun-dried tomatoes or chopped artichokes to the filling for variety.
• Great served with roasted veggies, quinoa, or a side salad.
