Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and position a rack in the center.
Prepare Filling: In a mixing bowl, mash together the cream cheese, mayonnaise, and garlic with a fork. Then, stir in the mozzarella, parmesan, and chopped spinach until combined.
Prepare Chicken: Lay the chicken on a flat surface and cut a slit 3/4 of the way through each breast without cutting all the way through. Stuff each chicken breast with 1/3 of the spinach mixture and secure with toothpicks if necessary.
Season Chicken: Season the outside of the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Sear Chicken: Heat the olive oil in an oven-proof skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and sauté for about 4 minutes per side until golden brown.
Bake Chicken: Flip the chicken one more time and immediately transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Rest and Serve: Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with the pan juices spooned over the top.
