Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 3 cups Fresh spinach
- 1 cup Feta cheese
- 4 tablespoons Cream cheese, softened
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 Toothpicks or kitchen twine
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare the chicken breasts by making a pocket in each one. Use a sharp knife to slice horizontally into the thickest part of the breast, being careful not to cut all the way through.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted. This should take about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked spinach, feta cheese, and cream cheese. Mix well to form the filling.
Stuff each chicken breast with an equal amount of the spinach and feta mixture. Secure the opening with toothpicks or kitchen twine to prevent the filling from spilling out.
In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Brush the seasoning mixture over the outside of each stuffed chicken breast.
Place the stuffed chicken breasts in a baking dish or oven-safe skillet.
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 the toothpicks or kitchen twine before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your Spinach Feta Stuffed Chicken Breasts!
