Ingredients

4 servings
  • 4 large chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
  • 2 cups fresh spinach (roughly chopped)
  • ½ cup feta cheese (crumbled)
  • 2 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • ¼ tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • salt and pepper salt and pepper
  • toothpicks or kitchen twine toothpicks or kitchen twine (for sealing)

How to Make It

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F. Sauté spinach and garlic in a splash of olive oil over medium heat until wilted, about 2 minutes. Let cool slightly, then squeeze out any excess liquid.

  2. 2

    Mix cooked spinach with feta, cream cheese, red pepper flakes, and oregano until combined.

  3. 3

    Cut a deep pocket into the side of each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through. Season inside and out with salt, pepper, and a pinch of oregano.

  4. 4

    Stuff each breast with the spinach and feta filling. Secure the opening with toothpicks.

  5. 5

    Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken 2–3 minutes per side until golden. Transfer skillet to the oven and bake 18–22 minutes until cooked through (165°F internal temp). Remove toothpicks before serving.
