Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces baguette
- 2 pieces boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 150 grams feta cheese
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 small red onion
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 2 garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the baguettes in half lengthwise and scoop out some of the inner bread to create a well for the filling. Set aside.
Season the chicken breasts with oregano, salt, and black pepper on both sides.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Cook the chicken breasts for 5-6 minutes on each side until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from the pan and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing them into thin strips.
While the chicken is resting, dice the red bell pepper and finely chop the red onion and garlic cloves.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the garlic, red onion, and red bell pepper for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the baby spinach and cook for another minute until just wilted.
Crumble the feta cheese into a bowl and mix it with the sautéed vegetables and lemon juice.
Place the sliced chicken into the hollowed-out baguettes, then top with the feta and vegetable mixture.
Place the filled baguettes on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes until the bread is crisp and the filling is warmed through.
Slice each baguette into portions and serve immediately.
