Spinach Stuffed Chicken Breast

Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• Salt and pepper, to taste

• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 cup fresh spinach leaves, chopped
• 1/2 cup ricotta or cream cheese
• 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

1. Prepare the Chicken: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut a slit into each chicken breast, creating a pocket but being careful not to cut all the way through.
2. Season the Chicken: Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, and sprinkle them with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.

5. Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium heat, add a little olive oil, and sear the chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Transfer to a baking dish.
6. Bake: Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F / 74°C).
7. Serve: Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
