Ingredients
Scale
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a bowl, mix together cream cheese, spinach, mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Cut a pocket in each chicken breast and stuff with the cream cheese mixture.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the stuffed chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Transfer the chicken to a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
Let rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
For extra flavor, add herbs like basil or oregano to the filling.
Ensure the chicken is fully cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
This dish pairs well with a side salad or steamed vegetables.
