Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 6 oz each)
  • 5 oz fresh spinach chopped
  • 4 oz feta cheese crumbled
  • 2 oz cream cheese softened
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tsp lemon zest

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Butterfly each chicken breast by slicing horizontally through the thickest part, leaving one edge intact.
  2. Step 2: In a bowl, mix together spinach, feta, cream cheese, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  3. Step 3: Divide the filling evenly among the chicken breasts, spreading it inside the pocket you created. Secure with toothpicks if needed.
  4. Step 4: Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
  5. Step 5: Pour chicken broth into the skillet and sprinkle lemon zest over the chicken.
  6. Step 6: Transfer skillet to oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F internally.
  7. Step 7: Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Remove toothpicks before serving.

Notes

For extra flavor, add 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes to the filling. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for 3 days - great for salads!
