Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups Fresh spinach
- 1 cup Feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese, softened
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 8 pieces Toothpicks
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a skillet over medium heat, warm 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked spinach, feta cheese, and cream cheese. Stir until well mixed.
Using a sharp knife, carefully slice a pocket into the side of each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through.
Stuff each chicken breast pocket with the spinach and feta mixture, dividing it evenly among the 4 chicken breasts.
Seal the opening of each chicken breast with 2 toothpicks to keep the filling inside.
Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the chicken breasts and season them on both sides with salt, pepper, and paprika.
Place the stuffed chicken breasts in a baking dish or on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before carefully removing the toothpicks.
Serve warm and enjoy!
