Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups Fresh spinach
- 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Using a sharp knife, carefully slice a pocket into the thickest part of each chicken breast without cutting all the way through.
Step 2
In a medium-sized bowl, mix softened cream cheese, fresh spinach, shredded mozzarella, and minced garlic until well combined.
Step 3
Spoon the spinach and cheese mixture evenly into each chicken breast's pocket. Secure the opening with toothpicks to keep the stuffing intact.
Step 4
Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, then season both sides with paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 5
Pour the chicken broth into the bottom of a crock pot (slow cooker) to keep the chicken moist and flavorful during cooking.
Step 6
Place the stuffed chicken breasts into the crock pot in a single layer, ensuring they are spaced apart for even cooking.
Step 7
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low for 4 hours, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Step 8
Carefully remove the toothpicks before serving. If desired, spoon some of the juices from the crock pot over the chicken for extra flavor.
Step 9
Serve warm with your favorite sides, such as rice, potatoes, or a fresh green salad.
