Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling by combining fresh spinach, feta cheese, cream cheese, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper in a bowl; mix well.
  2. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and create a pocket in each chicken breast.
  3. Spoon the spinach-feta filling into each chicken pocket, securing with toothpicks if needed.
  4. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the stuffed chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  5. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  6. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
