Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Pat chicken breasts dry and create a pocket by making a horizontal slit without cutting through.
In a bowl, mix paprika, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper; season chicken on both sides.
In another bowl, combine spinach, feta cheese, ricotta cheese, scallions, minced garlic, and dill for the filling. Stuff each chicken pocket and secure with toothpicks.
Heat olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and sear stuffed chicken until golden brown (about 3–4 minutes per side).
Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake uncovered for 15–18 minutes until cooked through.
