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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Slice the baguettes in half lengthwise and scoop out some of the inner bread to create a well for the filling. Set aside.

Step 3

Season the chicken breasts with oregano, salt, and black pepper on both sides.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

While the chicken is resting, dice the red bell pepper and finely chop the red onion and garlic cloves.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Crumble the feta cheese into a bowl and mix it with the sautéed vegetables and lemon juice.

Step 8

Place the sliced chicken into the hollowed-out baguettes, then top with the feta and vegetable mixture.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

Slice each baguette into portions and serve immediately.
