4 ounces cream cheese
2 ounces feta cheese crumbles
2 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons olive oil

How to make Spinach Stuffed Chicken Breast
Step 1: Combine the seasoning ingredients (paprika, cumin powder, salt, and chilli powder) and set aside.
Step 2: Into a mixing bowl, place the roughly chopped baby spinach along with the cream cheese, feta, and mozzarella. Using your hands, massage the spinach until well mixed and you have a thick paste.
Step 3: Into the side of the chicken breast, cut a pocket with a sharp knife.
Step 4: Into four equal parts, divide the spinach stuffing. Then, into the chicken pockets, spoon the stuffing. To secure the stuffing inside the pockets, use toothpicks. Now, season the chicken generously with the spice mix, then on both sides, brush with olive oil.
Step 5: Place in a preheated 400 degrees F oven and bake for about 25 to 30 minutes. The cooking time depends on the size of the chicken breasts.
