Delicious Spinach and Feta Stuffed Chicken Breasts

This stuffed chicken with spinach and feta offers a delightful mix of savory flavors and creamy textures, making it an ideal centerpiece for any special gather…

Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup fresh spinach chopped
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese crumbled
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice optional

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the garlic for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2–3 minutes.
  4. Remove the skillet from heat. Stir in the crumbled feta cheese, lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Using a sharp knife, create a pocket in each chicken breast without cutting all the way through.
  6. Stuff each chicken breast with the spinach and feta mixture, using toothpicks to secure the openings if necessary.
  7. Season the outside of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  8. Place the stuffed chicken breasts in a baking dish and cover with foil.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  10. Remove the foil during the last 5 minutes for a golden finish, if desired.
  11. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
