Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  • 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.
  • Season both sides of each chicken breast with 3/4 teaspoon salt, paprika, and garlic powder. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl combine the sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, feta cheese, shallots, garlic, basil, panko, oregano, Parmesan cheese, salt, and 0.5 tablespoon olive oil.
  • Mix well and set aside.
  • Divide spinach mixture between the chicken breasts and stuff into each, about 0.75 cup each. If needed, you can use toothpicks to close chicken breast.
  • Heat a large, oven-safe or cast iron skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the remaining oil and once hot, sear the chicken breasts on each side for about 2 to 3 minutes, until browned.
  • Transfer skillet to oven and finish cooking 12 to 15 minutes, until chicken reaches 165 degrees F.
  • Remove from oven and tent with foil for 5 minutes before eating.
  • Remove toothpicks and eat right away.
