Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon paprika for seasoning

Instructions

Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, mix the chopped spinach, cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Prepare the Chicken: Cut a pocket into each chicken breast for stuffing. Season the outside of the chicken with salt, pepper, and paprika.
Stuff the Chicken: Fill each chicken breast with the spinach and cheese mixture, securing with toothpicks if necessary.

Air Fry the Chicken: Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Brush the stuffed chicken breasts with olive oil and place them in the air fryer basket. Cook for 18-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Serve: Remove toothpicks if used, and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve hot with your favorite sides.
