Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 2 cups Fresh spinach
- 1 cup Feta cheese
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 pieces Toothpicks
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Mince the garlic and stir it in, cooking for an additional minute. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked spinach mixture with the crumbled feta cheese. Mix until well combined and set aside.
Using a sharp knife, make a horizontal slit along the thickest side of each chicken breast to create a pocket. Be careful not to cut all the way through.
Spoon the spinach and feta mixture evenly into each chicken pocket, then secure the openings with toothpicks to prevent the filling from spilling out.
Rub the chicken breasts with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Season them on all sides with paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Place the stuffed chicken breasts on a baking dish or sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Remove the toothpicks before serving.
