Cut the chicken breast into half and season inside of the chicken.

Add spinach and stir frequently until wilted and cooked, about 2-3 minutes.
Stuff chicken breast with mushroom, spinach and bell pepper mixture. Add cheese, 1-2 slices per chicken.
Use toothpicks to thread chicken breasts near the openings to help secure them. If some of the fillings have come out, just tuck it back in.

Transfer the chicken breasts to Serving plates. Carefully remove and discard the toothpicks.
