  4. In each chicken fillet, make an even deep incision in the middle. We open the prepared "pockets" with a "book", salt and pepper. Put a few plates of mozzarella in the center of the chicken "pocket", 2-3 spinach leaves on top, then another layer of mozzarella. Close the "pocket", fix the incision with a wooden toothpick, season with salt and pepper on both sides. Mix the breadcrumbs with paprika.

  5. In this recipe, the "pockets" are prepared in a slow cooker, in the "quenching" mode. With this preparation, chicken meat turns out to be very tender and very juicy. Pour 3-4 tablespoons of vegetable oil into the bowl of the slow cooker, switch the "frying" mode. Chicken "pockets" generously roll in hot breadcrumbs, fry in preheated oil. Fry for 3-4 minutes on both sides. Set the multicooker mode to "quenching". Cooking time is 20 minutes. When ready, do not open the lid of the slow cooker for another 10-12 minutes.
