  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 3 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (plus more for drizzling)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Juice of 1 lemon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté minced garlic until fragrant (about 1 minute). Add spinach and cook until wilted (about 3 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in feta cheese and oregano.
  3. Butterfly each chicken breast by slicing horizontally through one side to create a pocket. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Generously fill each pocket with the spinach-feta mixture and seal edges with toothpicks if needed.
  5. Place stuffed breasts in a greased baking dish, drizzle with olive oil, and bake for 25-30 minutes until cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
  6. Drizzle lemon juice over the stuffed chicken before serving.
