Ingredients
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 cups fresh baby spinach, chopped
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp dried oregano
Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice a horizontal pocket into the thickest part of each chicken breast, taking care not to cut all the way through.
In a small bowl, combine chopped spinach, crumbled feta, minced garlic, and dried oregano.
Stuff each chicken breast with the spinach and feta mixture, securing the edges if necessary with toothpicks.
Season the skin of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove from heat, let rest for 5 minutes before serving or portioning for meal prep.
Notes
If using frozen spinach, ensure it is completely thawed and squeezed dry to prevent excess moisture. Use block feta for better texture and flavor compared to pre-crumbled varieties. Store in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
