How to make it
- 1
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 Celsius).
- 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
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
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.

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).
