Spinach Tomato Feta Stuffed Chicken Breast

Spinach Tomato Feta Stuffed Chicken Breast is a baked dish featuring boneless chicken breasts filled with a flavorful mixture of chopped spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, feta cheese, shallots, garlic, fresh herbs, and breadcrumbs. The chicken is seared to develop a golden crust before finishing in the oven, resulting in juicy meat with a savory, tangy interior contrast from the feta and sun-dried tomatoes.

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  2. Use a sharp knife to slice a pocket into the sides of each chicken breast. Make sure you don't cut all the way through, just enough to create a place for the spinach mixture to go.
  3. Season both sides of each chicken breast with 3/4 teaspoon salt, paprika and garlic powder. Set aside.
  4. In a medium bowl combine the sun dried tomatoes, spinach, feta cheese, shallots, garlic, basil, panko, oregano, parmesan cheese, salt and 1/2 tablespoon olive oil.
  5. Mix well and set aside.
  6. Divide spinach mixture between the chicken breasts and stuff into each, about 3/4 cup each. If needed, you can use toothpicks to close chicken breast.
  7. Heat a large, oven-safe or cast iron skillet over medium heat.
  8. Add the remaining oil and once hot, sear the chicken breasts on each side for about 2 to 3 minutes, until browned.
  9. Transfer skillet to oven and finish cooking 12 to 15 minutes, until chicken reaches 165 degrees F.
  10. Remove from oven and tent with foil for 5 minutes before eating.
  11. Remove toothpicks and eat right away.
