- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice a pocket into each chicken breast without cutting all the way through. - Make the Cheese Filling

Spoon the cheese mixture into the chicken pockets. Secure edges with toothpicks if needed. - Season the Chicken
Brush melted butter over the chicken breasts and sprinkle with paprika and Italian seasoning. - Bake
Place stuffed chicken on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). - Serve
Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Pair with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
Notes
- Spicy Kick: Add cayenne or chopped jalapeños to the cheese mixture.
