Instructions

Prep the Chicken: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut a pocket into each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through. Season with salt and pepper.
Make the Filling: In a bowl, mix together the chopped spinach, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic, salt, and pepper.
Stuff the Chicken: Divide the filling evenly among the chicken breasts, then secure with toothpicks.
Coat the Chicken: In a separate bowl, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Coat each stuffed chicken breast with the breadcrumb mixture.
Bake: Place the chicken breasts on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
Serve: Remove toothpicks before serving. Enjoy your Spinach Cream Cheese Stuffed Chicken!

Notes

You can customize the filling by adding sun-dried tomatoes or cooked bacon for extra flavor.
Make sure to seal the chicken breasts well to prevent the filling from oozing out during baking.
