Instructions

Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add 3 cups fresh spinach and 1/4 tsp salt, cooking for 3-4 minutes until wilted and most liquid evaporates. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese and 1 tbsp lemon juice.
Step 2: Preheat oven to 375°F. Slice a deep pocket into each of the 2 large chicken breasts, careful not to cut through. Stuff each pocket evenly with the spinach and feta mixture.
Step 3: Heat remaining 1 tbsp olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken breasts with 3/4 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper on all sides. Sear chicken breasts for 3 minutes per side until golden brown.
Step 4: Transfer skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Remove and rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
