Equipment

  • Skillet, baking dish

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cups fresh spinach chopped
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Toothpicks or kitchen twine

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish with olive oil or non-stick spray.
  • In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the minced garlic in olive oil until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and dried oregano.
  • Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the crumbled feta cheese until well combined.
  • Make a horizontal slit along the side of each chicken breast to create a pocket, being careful not to cut all the way through.
  • Stuff each chicken breast with the spinach and feta mixture, then secure the openings with toothpicks or tie with kitchen twine to keep the filling inside.
  • Season the stuffed chicken breasts with additional salt, pepper, and oregano if desired.
  • Place the stuffed chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
  • Once cooked, remove the toothpicks or twine from the chicken before serving.
