Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt, divided
• ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
• ¼ teaspoon onion powder
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 ½ cups fresh spinach, chopped
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Season the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and drizzle with olive oil.
3. Prepare Seasoning: In a small bowl, mix paprika, ½ teaspoon salt, garlic powder, and onion powder. Sprinkle evenly over both sides of the chicken.
4. Create a Pocket: Using a sharp knife, carefully slice a pocket into the side of each chicken breast without cutting all the way through. Set aside.
5. Make the Filling: In a small mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, Parmesan, mayonnaise, spinach, garlic, red pepper flakes, and the remaining ½ teaspoon of salt. Mix well.
6. Stuff the Chicken: Evenly divide the spinach mixture and spoon it into each chicken pocket.
7. Bake: Arrange the stuffed chicken breasts in a 9×13-inch baking dish. Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F).
8. Serve & Enjoy: Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
