Instructions

1- Preheat the Oven:

• Preheat your oven to 365°F (185°C).

2- Prepare the Chicken:

• Butterfly the chicken breasts by slicing them horizontally without cutting all the way through.
• Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, ensuring they are well coated.
• Season with onion powder, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Set aside.

3- Make the Stuffing:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, provolone cheese, spinach, a pinch of onion powder, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
• Mix until well combined.

4- Stuff the Chicken:

• Open each butterflied chicken breast and spoon an equal amount of the cheese mixture inside.
• Press the halves together and sprinkle them with paprika for a little extra flavor and color.

5- Sear the Chicken:

• Heat the remaining olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
• Sear each side of the stuffed chicken breasts for 2 minutes, or until they have a nice golden-brown crust.

6- Bake the Chicken:

• Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
• Bake for 25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

7- Prepare the Sides:

• While the chicken is baking, prepare mashed potatoes and asparagus.
• For the asparagus, lightly steam or sauté until tender and lightly browned.

8- Serve:
