Before diving into the cooking process, it’s crucial to preheat your oven. Setting it to 375°F (190°C) at the start of your preparation ensures that your chicken cooks evenly and thoroughly. An adequately preheated oven allows the outside of the chicken to brown while the inside reaches the perfect, juicy temperature, avoiding the common pitfall of dry chicken or undercooked centers.

Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup fresh spinach, chopped

1 cup crumbled feta cheese

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (for topping)

Fresh lemon juice (for drizzling, optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Make the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped spinach, feta cheese, cream cheese, minced garlic, black pepper, salt, and dried oregano. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.

      Prepare the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, carefully slice a pocket into each chicken breast, making sure not to cut all the way through.

        Stuff the Chicken: Divide the spinach and feta mixture equally among the chicken breasts. Gently press the opening to ensure the filling stays inside.

          Sear the Chicken: In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the stuffed chicken breasts and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.

            Add Cheese and Bake: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the chicken breasts. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 75°C).

              Serve: Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes. Optionally, drizzle with fresh lemon juice before serving. Serve your creamy spinach and feta stuffed chicken breast with a side of your choice, like roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
