- 3. In a large shallow bowl, combine the salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder and stir then add in olive oil and combine and set aside.
- 4. Create pockets in each chicken breast for the mozzarella stuffing. On a chopping board place one hand on top of a chicken breast to keep it steady and flat. Insert a sharp knife in the middle of the thickest part. Make a slit about 5cm long (this will be dependent on the chicken breast size and thickness). Place the chicken breasts in the bowl with the spice rub and evenly coat each chicken breast. Now fill about 3tablespoons of the mozzarella filling into the pocket of each chicken breast.
