Pat the chicken breast dry with a paper towel.

Cut a slit in the center of the chicken breast to create a pocket, leaving about half an inch to one inch from the ends intact.

Transfer the chicken to a foil-lined baking tray.

Brush both sides of the chicken with olive oil.

Sprinkle a seasoning blend of 1.5 teaspoons each of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika on both sides of the chicken and pat it in.

In a bowl, mix together 4 ounces of cold cream cheese, 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise, 3 cloves of minced garlic, 2 cups of chopped fresh baby spinach (or thawed and drained frozen spinach), and 2 tablespoons of pesto.

Add 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup of grated parmesan cheese to the mixture and combine using a fork.

Stuff the chicken breasts with the cheesy spinach blend.

Bake the stuffed chicken breasts at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 to 30 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
