Chicken Breast filled with Spinach and Feta

feta cheese

🥗Healthier: goat cheese

💰Cheaper: ricotta cheese

Goat cheese is lower in fat and offers a tangy flavor.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Avocado oil has a higher smoke point and is heart-healthy.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast is dairy-free and adds a cheesy flavor.

breadcrumbs

🥗Healthier: ground almonds

💰Cheaper: crushed crackers

Ground almonds are gluten-free and add a nutty taste.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Sauté minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Add spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.

Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

In a bowl, combine spinach, feta cheese, lemon juice, and fresh herbs.

Slice a pocket into each chicken breast without cutting all the way through.

Stuff each chicken breast with the spinach and feta mixture.

Season the outside of the chicken with salt and black pepper.

Place stuffed chicken breasts in a baking dish and sprinkle with breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese.

Drizzle with olive oil and bake for 25-30 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.

Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
