Ingredients
  

  • 4 Skinless chicken breasts
  • ½ tbsp salt
  • ½ tbsp pepper
  • 1 tbsp paprika
  • ½ tbsp garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp oil

Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 5 oz spinach sautéed
  • 1 cup mozarella cheese shredded
  • ½ cup parmesan cheese shredded
  • ½ tbsp salt
  • ½ tbsp pepper
  • 1 tbsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

Instructions
 

  • Cut a slit into your chicken breasts to create a pocket. You want to cut about ¾ of the way through the chicken breast to create a sizeable pocket. Careful not to cut all the way through.
  • Drizzle 1 tbsp of oil over chicken and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika, ensuring to massage seasonings on the outside AND inside of the chicken.
  • To a bowl, combine cream cheese, spinach, cheeses, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and remaining seasonings. Combine well to make sure cream cheese is evenly distributed amongst the rest of the ingredients.
  • With a spoon, stuff the chicken breasts with the filling.
  • To an oven-safe skillet on medium high heat, add in one tbsp of oil. Sear chicken breasts on both sides until golden brown.
  • Place skillet into the oven for 15 minutes at 350℉ to cook the chicken internally. Remove when chicken hits 165℉ internally. Serve immediately.
