How to make it

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 Celsius).

  2. 2

    Carefully slice a deep pocket into the side of each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through. You want a nice space for your filling.

  3. 3

    In a small bowl, gently mix together the cottage cheese, fresh spinach, and smoked paprika. If you like, season with a pinch of salt and pepper here.

  4. 4

    Spoon the cottage cheese and spinach mixture evenly into the pockets of the chicken breasts. Don't worry if a little peeks out, it will still be delicious.

  5. 5

    Slice your red bell pepper into thin strips. Arrange the stuffed chicken breasts and bell pepper strips on a baking sheet. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 Celsius).
