Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 cups Fresh spinach
• 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 cloves Minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 10 pieces Toothpicks

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and set aside to cool.

Step 3

In a small mixing bowl, combine the cooled spinach, cream cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, and minced garlic. Mix well until smooth and fully combined.

Step 4

Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a deep pocket into the thickest part of each chicken breast. Be sure not to slice all the way through.

Step 5

Stuff each chicken breast pocket with 2-3 tablespoons of the spinach and cheese mixture. Secure the opening with toothpicks to hold the filling in place.

Step 6

Rub each chicken breast evenly with salt, black pepper, and paprika.

Step 7

In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the stuffed chicken breasts on both sides until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side.

Step 8

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

Step 9

Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. Carefully remove the toothpicks before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese or fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy your Yummy Stuffed Chicken Breasts!
