Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups Fresh spinach
- 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Using a sharp knife, carefully slice a pocket into the thickest part of each chicken breast without cutting all the way through.
In a medium-sized bowl, mix softened cream cheese, fresh spinach, shredded mozzarella, and minced garlic until well combined.
Spoon the spinach and cheese mixture evenly into each chicken breast's pocket. Secure the opening with toothpicks to keep the stuffing intact.
Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, then season both sides with paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the chicken broth into the bottom of a crock pot (slow cooker) to keep the chicken moist and flavorful during cooking.
Place the stuffed chicken breasts into the crock pot in a single layer, ensuring they are spaced apart for even cooking.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low for 4 hours, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Carefully remove the toothpicks before serving. If desired, spoon some of the juices from the crock pot over the chicken for extra flavor.
Serve warm with your favorite sides, such as rice, potatoes, or a fresh green salad.
