Spinach and Cheddar Stuffed Chicken

This is seriously so good!  Pair it with brown rice or some red potatoes for a delicious and healthy meal! 

Ingredients

4-6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts very thin
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1  package chopped frozen spinach, cooked 
 sea salt
 ground black pepper
 garlic powder
 paprika
1/2  tbsp olive oil
 toothpicks


Instructions
Preheat over to 350 degrees. If your chicken breasts are not already thin, pound them with a mallet until thin. This makes the chicken easier to fold in half. Place them in a baking dish.

Coat chicken (both sides) with sea salt, pepper, garlic powder and paprika.

Sprinkle cheddar cheese evenly on top of the chicken breasts. Save a little bit to add to the top after you fold them.

Sprinkle spinach evenly on top of the cheese. 

Fold your chicken breasts in half and secure with 2-3 toothpicks each.

Brush the tops of the chicken breasts with olive oil.
Cover baking dish with tin foil and place in the over. Cook for about 20-25 minutes or until chicken is fully cooked.

Remove tin foil and sprinkle chicken with the remaining cheese.

Bake uncovered for an additional 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
