Spinach-Stuffed Chicken

2 packages (10 ounces each) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded Swiss cheese
3/4 cup ricotta cheese
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
3 tablespoons finely chopped onion
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon pepper
6 bone-in chicken breast halves (8 ounces each)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
Additional paprika, optional

In a large bowl, combine the spinach, cheeses, onion, garlic, salt, nutmeg and pepper. Carefully loosen the skin on one side of each chicken breast to form a pocket. Stuff each breast with 1/2 cup spinach mixture.

Place chicken skin side up in a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Combine the oil, paprika, oregano and thyme; brush over chicken. Sprinkle with additional paprika if desired.

Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 1 to 1-1/4 hours or until a meat thermometer inserted into the breast meat reads 170° and juices run clear. Makes 6 servings.
