Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups fresh spinach (roughly chopped)
- 1 cup feta cheese (crumbled)
- 0.25 cup sun-dried tomatoes (chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 pieces toothpicks or kitchen twine
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Using a sharp knife, carefully create a pocket in each chicken breast by slicing horizontally along one side without cutting through the other side.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, combine the chopped spinach, feta cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, minced garlic, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and lemon zest. Mix until well-combined.
Step 4
Stuff each chicken breast with an equal portion of the spinach-feta mixture. Secure the opening of the chicken breasts with toothpicks or kitchen twine.
Step 5
In a small bowl, mix oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle this seasoning mix evenly over both sides of the stuffed chicken breasts.
Step 6
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
Step 7
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Step 8
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Remove the toothpicks or twine before serving.
Step 9
Serve hot with your favorite gluten-free side dish, such as roasted vegetables or quinoa.
