Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breasts
• 3 cups Fresh spinach
• 1 cup Feta cheese
• 4 tablespoons Cream cheese, softened
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 8 Toothpicks or kitchen twine

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Prepare the chicken breasts by making a pocket in each one. Use a sharp knife to slice horizontally into the thickest part of the breast, being careful not to cut all the way through.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted. This should take about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 5

In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked spinach, feta cheese, and cream cheese. Mix well to form the filling.

Step 6

Stuff each chicken breast with an equal amount of the spinach and feta mixture. Secure the opening with toothpicks or kitchen twine to prevent the filling from spilling out.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 8

Brush the seasoning mixture over the outside of each stuffed chicken breast.

Step 9

Place the stuffed chicken breasts in a baking dish or oven-safe skillet.

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 the toothpicks or kitchen twine before serving.

Step 12

Serve hot and enjoy your Spinach Feta Stuffed Chicken Breasts!
