Ingredients:

Serving

2 packages (10 oz each) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1 cup (4 oz) shredded swiss cheese
3/4 cup ricotta cheese
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
3 tbsp finely chopped onion
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp pepper
6 bone-in chicken breast halves (8 oz each)
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp dried thyme
additional paprika , optional

Directions:

In a large bowl, combine the spinach, cheeses, onion, garlic, salt, nutmeg and pepper. Carefully loosen the skin on one side of each chicken breast to form a pocket. Stuff each breast with 1/2 cup spinach mixture.
Place chicken skin side up in a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Combine the oil, paprika, oregano and thyme; brush over chicken. Sprinkle with additional paprika if desired.
Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 1 to 1-1/4 hours or until a meat thermometer inserted into the breast meat reads 170° and juices run clear. Yield: 6 servings.
