Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (optional)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare the Filling: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Add chopped spinach and cook until wilted. Remove from heat and mix in feta cheese, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  3. Prepare the Chicken: Make a pocket in each chicken breast by slicing it horizontally, being careful not to cut all the way through. Stuff each pocket generously with the spinach and feta mixture.
  4. Secure the Chicken: You may use toothpicks to secure the openings if needed. Optionally, coat the stuffed chicken with breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese for an extra crunch.
  5. Bake: Place the stuffed chicken breasts in a baking dish and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
  6. Serve: Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm with your choice of side dishes.
