Instructions
Creating Easter Chicken with Spinach and Feta is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and dried oregano on both sides.
3. Sauté Spinach: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute. Then, add chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
4. Combine Filling: In a bowl, mix the sautéed spinach with crumbled feta cheese and lemon juice until well combined.
5. Stuff Chicken: Carefully slice a pocket into each chicken breast, ensuring not to cut all the way through. Stuff each pocket with the spinach and feta mixture.
6. Bake Chicken: Place the stuffed chicken breasts in a baking dish. If desired, top with halved cherry tomatoes for added flavor. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
7. Rest: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
8. Garnish: Serve the chicken garnished with fresh parsley for an extra pop of color and flavor.
