Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 to 8 oz each)
  • 5 oz fresh baby spinach
  • 4 oz feta cheese, crumbled
  • 2 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper

Method
 

  1. Mix the spinach, feta, cream cheese, garlic, lemon zest, a pinch of salt, and pepper in a bowl until well combined.
  2. Cut a pocket into each chicken breast, season the inside with salt and pepper, then stuff with the filling. Secure with toothpicks if needed.
  3. Heat oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high. Sear the breasts for about 3 minutes per side until golden.
  4. Transfer the skillet to a 400°F oven and bake 15 to 18 minutes, or until the chicken reaches 165°F internally. Rest 5 minutes, remove toothpicks, and slice to serve with pan juices.

Notes

If you do not have an oven-safe skillet, move the seared chicken to a baking dish for the oven step. The filling can be prepped a day ahead and chilled; let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before stuffing.
