Instructions
Preparation Steps
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Use a sharp knife to slice a pocket into the sides of each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through.
Season both sides of each chicken breast with 3/4 teaspoon salt, paprika, and garlic powder. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine sundried tomatoes, spinach, feta cheese, shallots, garlic, basil, panko, oregano, Parmesan cheese, salt, and 1/2 tablespoon olive oil. Mix well and set aside.
Divide the spinach mixture among the chicken breasts and stuff into each pocket, about 3/4 cup each. Use toothpicks to close if needed.
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the remaining olive oil and sear chicken breasts for 2 to 3 minutes per side until browned.
Transfer skillet to the oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
Remove from oven and tent with foil for 5 minutes before serving.
Remove toothpicks and serve immediately.
