Ingredients:

• 3 large chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
• 1 tbsp salt, divided
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp paprika
• 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
• 4 oz cream cheese
• 1 tbsp mayonnaise
• 2 garlic cloves, pressed
• 1 1/2 cups baby spinach leaves, chopped
• 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese
• 1/4 cup parmesan cheese

Directions:

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl, combine 4 oz cream cheese, 1 tbsp mayonnaise, 1/4 tsp salt, and two minced garlic cloves. Mash and mix together using a fork. Next, stir in the chopped spinach together with 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup parmesan cheese. Mix everything until combined. Set aside. Now, start prepping the chicken.

Step 2

Lay the chicken breasts on your working surface and cut a slit about three-fourths of the way through, creating a pocket. After this, divide the cream cheese mixture into each pocket, sealing it with two toothpicks per chicken breast. Once done, season the outside of the chicken with 3/4 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, and 1/2 tsp paprika.

Step 3

Heat 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil in an oven-safe pan, then add the stuffed chicken breasts. Cook them for four minutes on each side over medium heat. Once done, transfer the pan to the preheated oven and bake at 425 degrees F for about ten to fifteen minutes. Serve and enjoy!
