Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Toothpicks for securing
Instructions:
1. Preheat and Prepare:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Butterfly each chicken breast by making a horizontal cut, keeping the other side intact.
2. Create the Filling:
- In a mixing bowl, combine chopped spinach, crumbled feta, sun-dried tomatoes, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a delicious stuffing.
3. Stuff the Chicken:
- Open each chicken breast and generously spoon the spinach and feta mixture onto one side.
- Carefully fold the other side over the stuffing, creating a stuffed pocket. Secure the edges with toothpicks to keep the filling intact during cooking.
4. Season and Sear:
- Season the stuffed chicken breasts with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- In an oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the stuffed chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until they develop a golden-brown crust.
5. Bake to Perfection:
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
6. Rest and Serve:
- Allow the stuffed chicken breasts to rest for a few minutes before removing the toothpicks.
- Slice and serve these flavor-packed delights with your favorite sides – perhaps a refreshing Greek salad or roasted vegetables.
