Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté chopped onion and garlic until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Add spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

In a bowl, mix cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, cooked spinach, and season with salt, black pepper, paprika, and dried oregano.

Slice each chicken breast horizontally to create a pocket, being careful not to cut all the way through.

Stuff each chicken breast with the cheese and spinach mixture, securing with toothpicks if necessary.

Season the outside of the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and lemon juice.

Place the stuffed chicken breasts in a baking dish and sprinkle breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese on top.

Drizzle with olive oil and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear.

Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving, garnished with fresh basil.
