Ingredients

• 3 cups fresh spinach
• ½ cup crumbled goat cheese
• ½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes
• 4 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tsp paprika
• 1/3 cup of Parmesan cheese

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Prepare a baking sheet by lining with foil, set aside.

4. Place chicken breasts on prepared baking sheet. Using a sharp knife cut slits across the chicken breast about ¾ of the way through chicken breast (careful not to cut all the way through) about ½ inch apart
5. (approx. 6-8 slits per chicken breast). Stuff each slit with spinach/goat cheese mixture.
