Main Ingredients

  • 4 pieces organic boneless skinless chicken breasts about 6 oz each
  • 0.75 tsp kosher salt
  • 0.75 tsp paprika
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 cup baby spinach chopped
  • 0.67 cup sundried tomatoes in oil drained and chopped
  • 0.67 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 medium shallot chopped
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 0.25 cup fresh basil chopped

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.
