In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté chopped onion and garlic until translucent.

Add diced bell pepper and carrots; cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

Stir in spinach and cook until wilted; remove from heat.

Mix in ham, cheese, breadcrumbs, and parsley until well combined.

Stuff the chicken breasts with the filling and secure with toothpicks or kitchen twine.

Place the stuffed chicken in a baking dish and drizzle with olive oil.

Sprinkle additional salt, pepper, and paprika on top.

Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes.

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.

Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
