Healthy Meal Prep | Menu 8 | Mediterranean Stuffed Chicken, Orzo Salad & Spanakopita

feta cheese

🥗Healthier: cottage cheese

💰Cheaper: ricotta cheese

Cottage cheese is lower in fat and calories while still providing a creamy texture.

sun-dried tomatoes

🥗Healthier: fresh tomatoes

💰Cheaper: canned tomatoes

Canned tomatoes are more affordable and can provide a similar flavor.

mozzarella cheese

🥗Healthier: part-skim mozzarella

💰Cheaper: provolone cheese

Part-skim mozzarella reduces fat content without sacrificing meltiness.

bread crumbs

🥗Healthier: ground oats

💰Cheaper: crushed crackers

Ground oats offer a healthier alternative while still providing texture.

Mix together crumbled feta cheese, finely chopped roasted red peppers, finely chopped calamata olives, and fresh parsley in a bowl to create the filling.

Prepare the chicken breasts by finding the larger side and carefully running a sharp paring knife along the side to create a pocket, ensuring not to cut all the way through.

Spoon the filling into the chicken breast pocket until full.

Place the stuffed chicken breasts on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Drizzle the stuffed chicken breasts with freshly squeezed lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper, and Greek seasoning.

Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C).

Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
