Ingredients

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F (160°C fan).
2. Cut a pocket into each chicken breast without cutting all the way through, cutting from the side with the fold in the meat so the smooth side stays intact.
3. Microwave the cream cheese for 30 seconds to soften, then mix it with the remaining stuffing ingredients.
4. Stuff the mixture deep into each pocket, then close each breast with 2 or 3 toothpicks. Sprinkle both sides with the paprika and salt.
5. Heat the oil in an ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the breasts smooth-side down for 2 minutes until golden, then flip and sear the other side for 2 minutes.
6. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until the chicken's internal temperature reaches 67°C/155°F.
7. Rest the chicken on a plate for 5 minutes before serving.
