Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, make a deep pocket in each breast, being careful not to cut through to the other side.
Season both the outside and inside of the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Stuff each chicken breast with one slice of ham, one pineapple ring, and 2 tablespoons of shredded mozzarella cheese. Use toothpicks to secure the opening so the filling doesn’t fall out during cooking.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the stuffed chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. This step locks in the juices and enhances the flavor.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake the chicken for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Carefully remove the chicken from the oven, discard the toothpicks, and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with your choice of sides, such as steamed vegetables or a fresh green salad. Enjoy your Hawaiian Stuffed Chicken Breasts!
