Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Dry chicken with paper towels. Cut a horizontal pocket into each bre4ast, but not all the way through; open each like a book. Set aside.
In a medium skillet over medium high heat, heat 1 T. oil; saute shallots for about 3 minutes. Add garlic and chopped spinach; cook until spinach has wilted; remove from heat.
In a small bowl, mix salt, pepper, oregano, thyme, and crushed red pepper flakes. Divide this mixture in half.
In a medium bowl, add softened cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, wilted spinach, shallots and half of the spice mix; mix well.
Rub the remaining 2 T. oil onto each breast; season each with the remaining spice mix.
Stuff each breast, divided evenly with the spinach and cream cheese mixture. Place the stuffed chicken breasts in a 9X13 inch baking/casserole dish.
Bake uncovered for 30-45 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and there's a brown crust on the tops. Remove the chicken from the oven.
Serve immediately.
