Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups Fresh spinach
- 1 cup Feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese, softened
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 8 pieces Toothpicks
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
In a skillet over medium heat, warm 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 3
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Step 4
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked spinach, feta cheese, and cream cheese. Stir until well mixed.
Step 5
Using a sharp knife, carefully slice a pocket into the side of each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through.
Step 6
Stuff each chicken breast pocket with the spinach and feta mixture, dividing it evenly among the 4 chicken breasts.
Step 7
Seal the opening of each chicken breast with 2 toothpicks to keep the filling inside.
Step 8
Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the chicken breasts and season them on both sides with salt, pepper, and paprika.
Step 9
Place the stuffed chicken breasts in a baking dish or on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Step 10
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).
Step 11
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before carefully removing the toothpicks.
Step 12
Serve warm and enjoy!
