Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts ((about 1 pound))
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 cups fresh spinach (chopped)
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
  • 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese (shredded)
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese (softened)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
  • Cut a slit into the side of each chicken breast to create a pocket for the filling. (You don't want to cut all the way through.) Place the prepared chicken in a large mixing bowl, drizzle with oil, and toss to coat.
  • In a small bowl, combine the paprika, salt, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and onion powder. Sprinkle over chicken and rub to make sure the outsides are seasoned.
  • In another mixing bowl, mix together spinach, Parmesan, mozzarella, cream cheese, and garlic until evenly combined.
  • Place the chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet. Stuff each breast with 1/4 of the spinach mixture. Use a spoon or your fingers to spread the mixture evenly inside the pocket.
  • Bake for 30 minutes until chicken is cooked through to 165 degrees F and filling is melty.
  • Remove from the oven and serve immediately. You can sprinkle a little chopped parsley on top for garnish, if desired.
