Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 1 cup feta cheese
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.33 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 1 cup baby spinach, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 8 pieces toothpicks
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a pocket into the side of each chicken breast, being careful not to cut through to the other side.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, combine the feta cheese, mozzarella cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, chopped spinach, minced garlic, and dried oregano. Mix well to create the stuffing mixture.
Step 4
Season the inside and outside of each chicken breast with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Step 5
Stuff each chicken breast with the cheese and spinach mixture, ensuring the filling is evenly distributed. Secure the opening of each breast with 1-2 toothpicks.
Step 6
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the stuffed chicken breasts for 2-3 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 is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Step 8
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 9
Carefully remove the toothpicks and serve the stuffed chicken warm. Enjoy!
