Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 cups Fresh spinach
• 1 cup Feta cheese
• 0.33 cup Sun-dried tomatoes (chopped)
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 8 pieces Toothpicks (for securing)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Using a sharp knife, slice a pocket into the side of each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through.

Step 3

In a medium skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the spinach to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until wilted. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.

Step 5

In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed spinach, feta cheese, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, and 1/2 teaspoon of dried oregano. Mix well.

Step 6

Stuff each chicken breast with about 1/4 of the spinach-feta mixture. Secure the openings with toothpicks to prevent the filling from spilling out.

Step 7

Rub the outside of each chicken breast with the remaining olive oil, then sprinkle each with the paprika, remaining oregano, salt, and black pepper.

Step 8

Place the stuffed chicken breasts in a baking dish and drizzle with lemon juice.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Carefully remove the toothpicks before plating.
