Steps:
- Drain the spinach in a colander and squeeze the excess moisture out with your hands. In a mixing bowl, combine the spinach, cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, garlic, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. If you have a kitchen glove, do this with your hand. Set the filling aside.
- Remove a rack from your Masterbuilt Smoker. Prepare the smoker by filling the bowl with water and citrus slices, if desired. Fill the tray with wood chips. Preheat the smoker with the vent open to 250°F.
- Butterfly your chicken on a clean cutting board. Place one hand on top of the breast to hold it in place. With a sharp knife, slice through the center of the breast approximately 3/4 of the way, being sure to leave some chicken intact. You are looking for the breast to open and lay flat like it is a hinged book.
- Open the chicken and place a piece of plastic wrap on top. Lightly pound each breast with the flat side of a meat mallet just to achieve an even thickness. Don't pound it too thin or tear it.
- Place equal amounts of the spinach filling on one half of each butterflied breast. Fold the other half over the filling. Tie the chicken breasts with kitchen twine in 3 or 4 spots. Brush each breast all over with olive oil and season with paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Place the stuffed breasts on the smoker rack. Put the rack inside the smoker and place a sheet pan or disposable pan on the rack below the chicken to catch the drippings. Cook for approximately 1-1/2 hours until the internal temperature reads 165°F when checked with a digital meat thermometer. Continue to cook until the proper temperature is achieved. Remember to check your wood chips and water approximately every 45 minutes. Replenish as needed.
- Remove the smoked chicken to a clean cutting board. Cover it loosely with foil and allow the chicken to rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
- Using kitchen shears, cut the twine off of the chicken. You can serve the whole breasts or slice them into 3/4 inch thick portions. Serve while still warm.
