Ingredients:

  • 2 large chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
  2. Prepare the Chicken: Using a sharp knife, carefully slice a pocket into each chicken breast. Be sure not to cut all the way through the chicken; just create a cavity for the stuffing. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  3. Make the Stuffing: In a bowl, combine the chopped spinach, crumbled feta cheese, cream cheese, and shredded mozzarella cheese. Mix everything together until well combined. Season with a little salt and pepper, if desired.
  4. Stuff the Chicken: Spoon the spinach and cheese mixture into the pockets of the chicken breasts. Use toothpicks to secure the opening, if needed, to prevent the filling from spilling out during cooking.
  5. Cook the Chicken: Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the stuffed chicken breasts in the skillet and sear each side for about 2-3 minutes, until golden brown. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  6. Serve: Once cooked, remove the toothpicks, slice the chicken into bite-sized pieces, and arrange on a serving platter. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
