This Spinach Tomato Feta Stuffed Chicken Breast is filled with a flavorful spinach, sun dried tomato, and feta cheese mixture, seared in a skillet, and then baked to perfection.

Ingredients

  • 4 organic boneless (skinless chicken breasts, about 6 oz each)
  • 3/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 3/4 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

Filling:

  • 1 cup baby spinach (chopped)
  • 2/3 cup sundried tomatoes in oil (drained and chopped)
  • 2/3 cups crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 medium shallot (chopped)
  • 1 large garlic clove (minced)
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
  • 2 tablespoons plain or gluten-free panko
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
  • 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (divided)

Instructions

  • 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.
