In small bowl stir together paprika, chili powder and salt. Rub a
teaspoon or so of spice mixture on all surfaces of chicken breasts.
Brown chicken skin-side-down in same skillet used for sautéing onions, adding vegetable oil if needed, until chicken is nicely browned, about 3-4 minutes.
Arrange chicken on top of stuffing. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until chicken is just done (juices will run clear).
