Ingredients
  

  • 4 whole chicken breasts boneless, skinless
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened at room temperature
  • 1 cup fresh spinach chopped
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • 1 tsp garlic powder divided
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp salt divided
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper divided
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, chopped spinach, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix thoroughly.
  • Cut a horizontal slit into the thickest part of each chicken breast to create a pocket, being careful not to cut all the way through.
  • Stuff each pocket evenly with the cream cheese and spinach mixture. Secure the edges with toothpicks if necessary.
  • Rub the outside of the chicken breasts with olive oil, then season with the paprika, remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
  • Place the stuffed breasts in the prepared baking dish and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  • Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
