Description
This juicy spinach feta baked chicken is a flavorful low-carb dinner packed with Mediterranean flair and melty cheese goodness.
Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 cups fresh spinach, chopped (or frozen spinach, thawed and drained)
½ cup crumbled feta cheese
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 tablespoon lemon juice
¼ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté spinach until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a bowl, mix spinach, feta, mozzarella, lemon juice, and sun-dried tomatoes (if using).
Cut a horizontal slit into the side of each chicken breast to form a pocket.
Season chicken with garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.
Stuff each breast with spinach mixture. Secure with toothpicks if needed.
Place stuffed chicken in a baking dish and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Use goat cheese instead of feta for a tangy twist.
Add fresh herbs like basil or dill for extra flavor.
Sprinkle in red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.
Pairs well with roasted veggies, salad, or quinoa.
