Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup fresh spinach, chopped

1 cup crumbled feta cheese

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened to room temperature

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (for topping)

Fresh lemon juice (for drizzling, optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C), ensuring it’s hot before you place the chicken inside.

    Prepare the Filling: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chopped spinach, crumbled feta cheese, softened cream cheese, minced garlic, black pepper, salt, and dried oregano. Use a fork or spatula to mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly integrated into a creamy filling.

      Prepare the Chicken Breasts: Place the chicken breasts on a clean cutting board. With a sharp knife, carefully create a pocket in each chicken breast by cutting horizontally from the thickest side without going all the way through to the other side.

        Stuff the Chicken Breasts: Evenly distribute the spinach and feta filling among the pockets of each chicken breast. When filling, gently press the opening to ensure the filling remains securely inside.

          Sear the Chicken: In a large, oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the stuffed chicken breasts. Sear them for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are nicely browned and develop a golden crust.

            Add Cheese and Bake: Once seared, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the top of the chicken breasts. Carefully transfer the entire skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

              Serve: After baking, remove the skillet from the oven and allow the chicken to rest for about 5 minutes. For an extra touch, drizzle with fresh lemon juice before serving. Pair your creamy spinach and feta stuffed chicken breasts with dishes like roasted vegetables, a fresh garden salad, or steamed quinoa for a well-rounded meal.
