Cheese and Spinach Stuffed Chicken

Ingredients:

2 large, boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
115g cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon paprika
Parsley, for garnish
Instructions:

Prepare the Stuffing:

In a bowl, mix the cream cheese, chopped spinach, mozzarella cheese, and minced garlic until smooth.
Stuff the Chicken:

Make a horizontal slit in each chicken breast to create a pocket. Generously stuff each breast with the mixture. Season the Chicken:

Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, then season with salt, pepper, and paprika.
Cook the Chicken:

Heat a skillet over medium heat and brown the chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side. Then, transfer the chicken to a preheated oven at 190°C (375°F) and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through.
Serve and Garnish:

Arrange the chicken breasts on a plate and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve with roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
How about adding a creamy garlic sauce to this stuffed chicken, or would you prefer to serve it light with a green salad?
