Spinach and Feta Stuffed Chicken Breast

Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • Pinch of nutmeg
  • Toothpicks optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Butterfly chicken breasts by slicing horizontally through the thickest part of each breast, being careful not to cut all the way through. Open the chicken breasts like a book and season both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  • In a skillet over medium heat, sauté spinach and minced garlic until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
  • In a bowl, mix the cooked spinach with crumbled feta cheese and a pinch of nutmeg.
  • Spread the spinach and feta mixture evenly over one half of each chicken breast.
  • Fold the other half of the chicken breast over the stuffing, and secure with toothpicks if needed.
  • Place the stuffed chicken breasts in a baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
  • Remove toothpicks before serving and enjoy!
