Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 cups fresh spinach, chopped

1 cup feta cheese, crumbled

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon olive oil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Prepare the Filling: In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from the heat and let it cool slightly.

      Mix the Cheese: In a large bowl, combine the wilted spinach mixture, feta cheese, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, oregano, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes (if using), and lemon juice. Mix until well combined.

        Prepare the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, create a horizontal slit in each breast to form a pocket, being careful not to cut all the way through.

          Stuff the Chicken: Generously stuff each chicken breast pocket with the spinach and feta filling. Use toothpicks to secure them if needed, ensuring none of the filling escapes during cooking.

            Sear the Chicken: In the same skillet, add a little more olive oil if necessary and heat over medium-high heat. Add the stuffed chicken breasts and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.

              Bake the Chicken: Transfer the seared chicken breasts to a lightly greased baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (165°F or 74°C internal temperature).

                Serve: Once cooked, remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your delicious Spinach and Feta Stuffed Chicken!
