Directions

Prep 10 minCook 25 min

1
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with foil and set aside.
2
Heat a splash of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the spinach until slightly wilted, about 3-5 minutes. Add the crumbled goat cheese and cook until melted, about 1 minute. Stir in red pepper flakes, if using, and set aside.
3
Place the chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet. Using a sharp knife, cut slits across each chicken breast about ¾ of the way through, spaced ½-¾ inch apart. Stuff each slit with the spinach and goat cheese mixture.
4
Season the tops of the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and paprika. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly over each chicken breast.
5
Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes. For more bubbly and browned cheese, switch to broil for the last 10 minutes of cooking, if desired.
