Spinach and Feta Stuffed Chicken Breast

Hello all! Today, I am stepping outside of my comfort zone and making something a little different...spinach and feta stuffed chicken breast. I've been wanting to try and make stuffed chicken breast since I've never done it before and I can across this on Pinterest and thought why not.

Spinach and Feta Stuffed Chicken with Jasmine Rice

Recipe:

3 chicken breasts
8 oz of spinach fresh or frozen, cooked
3 oz crumbled feta
4 oz cream cheese
1/4 tsp of salt
1/4 tsp of pepper
1 tbsp. olive oil
1 clove of garlic (substituted for a pinch of garlic powder)




Cooking Instructions:


Preheat oven to 450 F.
Cook spinach (I sautéed mine in olive oil and then drained it)
Mix spinach, feta, cream cheese, half of the salt, and garlic powder in bowl.
Cut a pocket into each chicken breast. ( I pressed a large spatula on top of the chicken breast while I cut it so I wouldn't cut myself). Then season chicken (I use seasoning salt and black pepper).
Stuff mixture into pockets.
Heat olive oil in a pan and then add chicken with the top side down.  Cook for 5-10 minutes or until it appears done on the outside.
Place chicken in the oven for about 25 minutes or until juices run clear when you poke it with the fork.
Serve with steamed rice, potatoes, or more veggies.




Happy Eating!
