Method

  3. Lightly season the inside of each pocket with a pinch of salt and pepper.​
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine chopped spinach, cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, minced garlic, paprika, remaining salt, and black pepper until well mixed.​
  5. Evenly divide the filling and spoon into each chicken pocket.​
  6. Use toothpicks to close the openings and keep the filling inside during cooking.​
  7. Place the stuffed chicken breasts in the greased baking dish.​
  8. Lightly brush the tops of the chicken with olive oil for a golden finish.​
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).​
  10. Remove from oven, let rest for 5 minutes, then remove toothpicks and serve warm.
