Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degree F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Lay the chicken breasts flat on the baking sheet. Starting from one side, cut a deep slit (or pocket) into each chicken breast, parallel to the baking sheet, leaving three sides intact. Try to make the cut even so the attached edges are all about 1/2-inch thick.
- Squeeze as much moisture out of the thawed spinach as possible. Then mix the spinach, shredded cheese, red peppers, shaved onion, garlic, paprika, and 1/4 teaspoon salt together in a mix bowl.
- Stuff the mixture evenly into the chicken breasts, turning them upright, so the stuffing is facing up. Drizzle each breast with olive oil and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper.
- Bake for 25 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and the chicken is cooked through at the thickest point. Serve warm!
Notes
- Store any leftover stuffed chicken breast in and airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave and serve!
