Deliciously Healthy: Delicious Spinach and Feta Stuffed Chicken Breast Recipe
Spinach and Feta Stuffed Chicken Breasts is a delicious and relatively simple dish to prepare. Here is a recipe for it:
Deliciously Healthy: Ingredients:
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 cups fresh spinach leaves, washed and chopped
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon dried parsley
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp olive oil
toothpicks or kitchen twine
Deliciously Healthy: Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Start by preparing the spinach and feta filling. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute or until fragrant.
Add the chopped spinach to the pan and cook for a few minutes until it wilts and excess moisture evaporates. Remove the pan from the flame.
In a mixing bowl, combine cooked spinach, crumbled feta cheese, dried oregano, and salt and pepper. Mix well to make stuffing.
Using a sharp knife, make a horizontal incision down the middle of each chicken breast, creating a pocket without cutting all the way through. Sprinkle salt and pepper on the outside of the chicken breasts.
Fill each chicken breast with spinach and feta mixture. Use toothpicks or kitchen twine to secure the edges and keep the stuffing in place.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in an ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add the stuffed chicken breasts and sear them until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side.
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is completely cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
