Chicken breasts Smoked paprika Garlic powder Salt and pepper Cream cheese Parmesan cheese Mayo Fresh baby spinach Garlic Red pepper flakes Oil

What You Need

Mix the filling: Grab a bowl and combine the cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, mayo, spinach, garlic, 1/2 tsp salt and red pepper flakes. Stir with a fork until well combined.

1. 

Prep the chicken: In order to stuff chicken, you’ll need to make a pocket. With a sharp filet knife, slice each chicken breast in half but not through, leaving about an inch of flesh intact.

2. 

Season the chicken: Mix smoked paprika, garlic powder, 1/4 tsp salt and pepper in a small bowl and sprinkle on both sides of chicken breasts.

3.

Stuff it: Stuff each pocket with 1/4th of the filling. You can secure the openings with a toothpick to prevent the filling from falling out during frying. I did not. Some will inevitably fall out, but that’s OK!

4.

Cook stuffed chicken breasts: Preheat cast iron skillet, add generous amount of olive oil and add chicken breasts. Sear on each side 5 minutes, then under lid for 5 minutes.

5.

Store

Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Freeze up 3 months.
