Ingredients:

• 4 chicken breasts (approximately 4-6 oz each)
• 1 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp salt, divided
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp onion powder

• 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes

Directions:

1. Begin by preheating an oven to 375° F.
2. Next, mix the paprika, ½ tsp of salt, garlic powder, and onion powder in a small bowl and set aside.
3. Now, drizzle chicken with oil and rub with seasoning mix.
4. Use a knife to cut a slit in each chicken breast for the filling.
5. Next, combine the parmesan, cream cheese, mayo, spinach, garlic, red pepper flakes, and remaining salt. Stir well to incorporate ingredients fully.
6. Now, fill your chicken breasts with the creamed spinach mixture.
7. Place chicken breasts on a baking tray or dish sprayed with nonstick spray. Cook for about 25 minutes or until the chicken is no longer pink. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
