Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup fresh spinach (chopped)
- 4 oz feta cheese (crumbled)
- 1/2 cup cream cheese (softened)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano (optional)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- Olive oil (for drizzling)
Direction
-
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
Prepare the Spinach Filling:
- In a medium bowl, combine the chopped spinach, feta cheese, cream cheese, minced garlic, oregano (if using), and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until well combined.
-
Prepare the Chicken:
- Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, carefully create a pocket in each chicken breast by slicing horizontally, making sure not to cut all the way through.
-
Stuff the Chicken:
- Spoon the spinach and feta mixture into each pocket, dividing it evenly among the chicken breasts. Secure the openings with toothpicks if necessary.
-
Season the Chicken:
- Season the outside of the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil.
-
Bake the Chicken:
- Place the stuffed chicken breasts in a greased baking dish or on a lined baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 75°C) and the juices run clear.
-
Rest and Serve:
- Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing. This helps retain moisture.
- Serve hot, garnished with additional feta or fresh herbs if desired.
Tips:
- Add Herbs: You can add fresh herbs like basil or parsley to the filling for extra flavor.
- Use Chicken Thighs: For a juicier option, you can use boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead of breasts.
- Serve with a Side: Pair the stuffed chicken with a side salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
