Savory Spinach and Feta Stuffed Chicken

Healthy Fact of the Day

Spinach is an excellent source of vitamins A, C, and K, as well as folate and iron, making it a nutritional powerhouse for overall health.

Ingredients

 

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

 

Instructions

 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. Using a sharp knife, carefully make a horizontal slit in the thickest part of each chicken breast to create a pocket.

  3. In a bowl, mix together the chopped spinach, feta cheese, minced garlic, dried oregano, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

  4. Stuff the spinach and feta mixture into the pockets of the chicken breasts.

  5. Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.

  6. Sear the stuffed chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.

  7. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

  8. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
