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

  1. Preheat the Oven:

    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Season the Chicken:

    • Season the outside of the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
