🧄🧀 Spinach & Feta Stuffed Chicken Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika (seasoning mix)
For the filling:
- 1 cup fresh spinach (sautéed or wilted)
- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1–2 tbsp cream cheese (optional, for extra creaminess)
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Pinch of chili flakes (optional, for a lil kick)
- Squeeze of lemon juice
🔪 How to Make It:
- Prep the Chicken:
Carefully slice a pocket into each chicken breast (like a book, don’t cut all the way through). Season outside with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. - Make the Filling:
Mix sautéed spinach, feta, garlic, (and cream cheese if using) in a bowl. Add lemon juice and optional chili flakes. - Stuff It:
Spoon the filling into each chicken breast pocket. Secure with toothpicks if needed. - Sear + Bake:
Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet. Sear chicken ~3–4 min per side until golden. Then finish in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15–20 mins, or until cooked through. - Serve With:
- Roasted veggies
- Garlic mashed potatoes
- Quinoa or rice pilaf
- Or even a light salad with lemon vinaigrette 🥗🍋
🛠️ Pro Tips:
- Use a meat thermometer: 165°F = juicy, never dry
- Want to keep it lean? Skip the cream cheese — feta’s got plenty of flavor
- Add sun-dried tomatoes or chopped olives for extra Mediterranean flare 🌿
