- 1/4 tsp paprika
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 360°F (182°C).
- In a medium bowl, mix cream cheese, parmesan, garlic, spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, and Italian seasoning until well combined.
- Slice each chicken breast horizontally to create a pocket, being careful not to cut through.
- Fill each chicken breast with the prepared filling. Use toothpicks to secure edges if needed.
- Rub chicken with olive oil and sprinkle both sides with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
