spinach, feta and cream cheese are mixed together and stuffed into chicken breasts, so easy, so good.
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts
- 8 oz chopped frozen spinach cooked according to package directions and squeezed dry.
- 4 oz feta crumbled (about ½ cup)
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 1 clove garlic diced
- ¼ teaspoon salt divided
- ⅛ teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
-
preheat oven to 450 degrees
-
mix the chopped frozen spinach, feta, cream cheese, garlic and half of the salt in a medium sized bowl.
-
cut a pocket into each chicken breast.
-
separate the spinach and cheese mixture into four parts, and roll into thick logs.
-
stuff each log into the pocket you made in the chicken breasts.
-
season with salt and pepper.
-
heat the olive oil in an ovenproof pan set over medium high heat, then add the stuffed chicken, "top" side down.
-
cook for 5 minutes, then flip the chicken over.
-
place the pan into the oven, and bake for 10 minutes.
-
if your chicken breasts are extraordinarily thick, cook for 2 to 5 minutes longer, or until juices run clear when you poke the chicken with a fork.
