Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 cups Fresh spinach
• 1 cup Feta cheese, crumbled
• 1 cup Sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 8 pieces Toothpicks

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Use a sharp knife to create a pocket in each chicken breast by slicing horizontally through the thickest part without cutting all the way through.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked spinach, feta cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, minced garlic, and chopped parsley. Mix until well combined.

Step 5

Stuff each chicken breast with an equal amount of the filling, making sure to press gently to close the pocket. Use two toothpicks per breast to secure the opening.

Step 6

Rub the outside of each stuffed chicken breast with the remaining olive oil. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and paprika for added flavor.

Step 7

Heat an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the stuffed chicken breasts for about 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.

Step 8

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 9

Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Carefully remove toothpicks before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables, a fresh salad, or quinoa.
