Tender chicken breasts filled with a creamy, cheesy blend of artichoke hearts and spinach, baked until golden brown. It's a restaurant-quality meal that's surprisingly easy to make at home.
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel.
In a medium bowl, prepare the filling by combining the softened cream cheese, chopped artichoke hearts, chopped spinach, mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, minced garlic, onion powder, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Carefully cut a deep pocket into the thickest side of each chicken breast, being careful not to slice all the way through. Season the inside and outside of each chicken breast with the remaining 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and paprika.
Evenly divide the spinach artichoke filling among the 4 chicken breasts, stuffing it into the pockets. Secure the opening of each pocket with one or two toothpicks to prevent the filling from leaking out.
Heat the olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully place the stuffed chicken breasts in the skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) on a meat thermometer.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest in the pan for 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute. Remember to remove the toothpicks before slicing and serving.
