Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

200g feta cheese, crumbled

150g fresh spinach, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (optional)

1/4 cup cream cheese, softened

1 tsp dried oregano

1 tsp dried basil

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

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 medium bowl, combine the crumbled feta cheese, chopped spinach, minced garlic, sun-dried tomatoes (if using), cream cheese, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are well incorporated.

      Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Using a sharp knife, carefully create a pocket in each chicken breast by cutting horizontally, making sure not to slice all the way through.

        Stuff the Chicken: Fill each chicken pocket with the feta and spinach mixture, generously packing it inside. Secure the openings with toothpicks if necessary.

          Season the Chicken: In a small bowl, mix olive oil and lemon juice, and brush this mixture over the stuffed chicken breasts. Sprinkle a little extra salt and pepper on top for seasoning.

            Bake the Chicken: Place the stuffed chicken breasts in a baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

              Serve: Once done, remove the chicken from the oven, let it rest for a few minutes, and then remove any toothpicks. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

                Enjoy: Pair your baked feta and spinach stuffed chicken with a fresh salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal!
