Mediterranean Spinach and Feta Stuffed Chicken Recipe

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F.

Step 2

Combine the cream cheese, feta cheese, and garlic in a bowl.

Step 3

Wilt the spinach in a small skillet over medium heat. Stir in the chopped roasted red pepper.

Step 4

Add the spinach and red pepper to the cream cheese mixture.

Step 5

Cut out a wide pocket in each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through.

Step 6

Stuff each chicken breast evenly with the filling.

Step 7

Combine the salt, oregano, onion powder, garlic powder, and pepper in a small dish. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the chicken breasts. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the chicken, coating them on all sides.

Step 8

Heat 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet set over medium-high heat.

Step 9

Once heated, sear the stuffed chicken breasts on each side, but don’t cook them through. You may need to do this in two batches, depending on the size of your chicken breasts.

Step 10

Place all 4 breasts in the skillet and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.

Step 11

Bake for 25-35 minutes until the chicken breasts are cooked to 165°F at the thickest point. Make sure to measure the temperature in the chicken breast, not the filling.
