Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 oz each)
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (divided)
  • ¼ cup pine nuts (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp dried oregano

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Wash and chop the spinach.
  2. In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the garlic until fragrant; add spinach until wilted (about 2-3 minutes).
  3. In a bowl, combine sautéed spinach, feta cheese, salt, pepper, and optional pine nuts; mix well.
  4. Create pockets in the chicken breasts by slicing them horizontally but not all the way through. Stuff with the spinach-feta mixture.
  5. Heat remaining olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear each stuffed breast for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Transfer to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until fully cooked.
  6. Let rest for about 5 minutes before slicing.
