DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 375° Fahrenheit.
Combine the salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and paprika in a small dish. Rub the seasoning mixture on the chicken and coat entirely.
Combine the filling ingredients in a bowl. Set aside. Cut out a wide pocket in each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through. Stuff each chicken breast with the filling.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large oven-safe pan over medium-high heat. Once heated, sear the stuffed chicken breasts on each side, but don’t cook through. You may need to do this in two batches depending on the size of your chicken breasts. Place all 4 breasts in the pan and transfer the pan to the oven.
Bake for 25-35 minutes until the chicken breasts are cooked through. Serve with rice, farro, or quinoa and a roasted veggie like Brussels sprouts or asparagus!
