Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. Using a sharp knife, cut a horizontal pocket into each of the 4 chicken breasts, being careful not to slice all the way through.
  2. Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, then add 2 cups chopped fresh spinach. Cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted, then remove from heat.
  3. Step 3: In a bowl, combine cooked spinach and garlic, 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese, 1/4 cup softened cream cheese, 1 tsp lemon zest, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper, mixing well.
  4. Step 4: Stuff each chicken breast pocket evenly with the spinach and cheese mixture, then secure with toothpicks if needed. Rub the outside of each breast with remaining 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  5. Step 5: Place stuffed chicken breasts on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.
