Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

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

  2. 2

    Prepare the Chicken

    Butterfly the chicken breasts by slicing them horizontally but not all the way through, creating a pocket for the filling.

  3. 3

    Make the Filling

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

  4. 4

    Combine Filling Ingredients

    In a bowl, mix the sautéed spinach and garlic with the softened cream cheese, salt, pepper, and paprika until well combined.

  5. 5

    Stuff the Chicken

    Stuff each chicken breast with the spinach and cream cheese mixture, then secure with toothpicks if necessary.

Cooking

  1. 6

    Bake the Chicken

    Place the stuffed chicken breasts in a baking dish. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is bubbly and golden.

  2. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from the oven, let it rest for a few minutes, then garnish with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
