Chicken Stuffed With Spinach, Sundried Tomatoes, And Cheese - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2/3 cup sun-dried tomato (not packed in oil)
    2 cups boiling water
    4 small chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
    4 1/2 ounces light boursin cheese
    2 tablespoons green onions, sliced thin
    1 cup Baby Spinach
    1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper, divided
    1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
    1/2 teaspoon paprika
    1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 400\u00b0F.
    Place sun-dried tomatoes in a bowl; pour boiling water over them and let steep until softened, about 10 minutes. Drain and chop.
    Mix boursin cheese with scallions and set aside.
    Cut a horizontal slit along the thin, long edge of each chicken breast, nearly through to the opposite side, and open like a book.
    Sprinkle the breasts with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper.
    Divide the cheese filling among the breasts, placing it in the center of each. Top with spinach and sun-dried tomatoes. Close the breast over the filling, pressing the edges firmly together to seal.
    Sprinkle the breasts with paprika, 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper.
    Heat oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned on one side, about 2 minutes. Turn the chicken over and transfer the skillet to the oven. Bake until the chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 15 minutes.
