Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 2: Add 5 cups fresh spinach leaves to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper, then remove from heat.
Step 3: Season 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts with 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp dried oregano on both sides.
Step 4: In a baking dish, drizzle 1 tbsp olive oil and place 2 chicken breasts side by side. Spread half of the cooked spinach evenly over them, then sprinkle 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese on top.
Step 5: Place the remaining 2 chicken breasts over the spinach and feta layers. Drizzle 1 tbsp lemon juice over the top chicken layer.
Step 6: Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the top is lightly golden.
Step 7: Let rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
