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
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- 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.
- Butterfly each chicken breast by slicing horizontally through one side to create a pocket. Season with salt and pepper.
- Generously fill each pocket with the spinach-feta mixture and seal edges with toothpicks if needed.
- 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).
- Drizzle lemon juice over the stuffed chicken before serving.
