Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 1 cup feta cheese
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.33 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 1 cup baby spinach, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 8 pieces toothpicks
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a pocket into the side of each chicken breast, being careful not to cut through to the other side.
In a medium bowl, combine the feta cheese, mozzarella cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, chopped spinach, minced garlic, and dried oregano. Mix well to create the stuffing mixture.
Season the inside and outside of each chicken breast with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Stuff each chicken breast with the cheese and spinach mixture, ensuring the filling is evenly distributed. Secure the opening of each breast with 1-2 toothpicks.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the stuffed chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Carefully remove the toothpicks and serve the stuffed chicken warm. Enjoy!
