Ingredients

3 Cup Spinach
8 Oz Goat Cheese
8 Breast, bone removed Chicken Breast
1 Dash Salt
1 Dash Pepper
2 Tsp Paprika
1/3 Cup, shredded Mozzarella Cheese

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Prepare a baking sheet by lining with foil, set aside.

In a large skillet add a splash of olive oil.

Cook spinach over medium heat until slightly wilted (approximately 3-5 minutes).

Add crumbled goat cheese and continue to cook until cheese is melted (about 1 minute).

Set aside.

Place chicken breasts on prepared baking sheet.

Using a sharp knife cut slits across the chicken breast about ¾ of the way through chicken breast (careful not to cut all the way through) about ½-3/4 inch apart (approximately 6-8 slits per chicken breast).

Stuff each slit with spinach/goat cheese mixture.

Generously salt and pepper top of chicken breast and season with paprika.

Sprinkle ¼ of the mozzarella cheese among each chicken breast.

Place chicken breasts in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes.

If desired switch oven from bake to broil for the last 10 minutes of cooking (for more bubbly and browned cheese).
