Ingredients
  

  • 4 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
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 ½ cups chopped fresh spinach
  • 1 teaspoon garlic (minced)
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and drizzle with oil.
  • Add the paprika, 1/2 teaspoon salt, garlic powder, and onion powder to a small bowl and stir to combine. Sprinkle evenly over both sides of the chicken.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut a pocket into the side of each chicken breast. Set chicken aside.
  • Add cream cheese, Parmesan, mayonnaise, spinach, garlic, red pepper and remaining ½ teaspoon of salt to a small mixing bowl and stir well to combine.
  • Spoon the spinach mixture into each chicken breast evenly.
  • Place the chicken breasts in a 9x13 baking dish. Bake, uncovered, for 25-30 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.

Notes

For crispier edges, broil in the last few minutes. Don't overstuff to prevent leaks. Let the chicken rest before serving. Consider covering with foil for moisture retention at the beginning of baking.
