1 Cook the spinach on a medium heat in a splash of oil for 3-5 minutes until it is slightly wilted.
2 Stir in the ricotta and cook for a further 30-60 seconds. Allow to cool.
3 Cut slits into the chicken breasts about 1cm (½ inch) apart but don’t cut all the way through - about 75% of the way down is what you should aim for.
4 Stuff all of the spinach and ricotta mixture into the slits.
5 Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
6 Grate the cheddar and sprinkle it generously on top.
7 Shake the ground paprika over the chicken to add some colour and flavour.
8 Bake in the centre of a pre-heated oven for 20-25 minutes 400°F (200°C) until the cheese has melted and the juices are clear.
9 Enjoy!
