Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

  2. 2

    Add fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

  3. 3

    In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked spinach, mozzarella cheese, and cream cheese. Season with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well until combined.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  5. 5

    Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a pocket in each chicken breast. Make sure not to cut all the way through.

  6. 6

    Stuff each chicken breast with the spinach and cheese filling, securing with toothpicks if necessary.

  7. 7

    Cook the Chicken

    In an oven-safe skillet, heat a little more olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the stuffed chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.

  8. 8

    Sprinkle the tops with grated Parmesan cheese and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/75°C).

  9. 9

    Serve

    Remove from the oven, let rest for a few minutes, then slice and serve warm.
