Create tender chicken breasts stuffed with a savory mix of feta cheese and spinach. This low-carb dinner looks fantastic when you slice into it, revealing the creamy filling.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, crumbled feta, chopped spinach, and minced garlic. Mix well until everything is evenly incorporated.
  3. Take one chicken breast and use a sharp knife to cut a deep pocket into the thickest side, being careful not to cut all the way through.
  4. Spoon the cheese and spinach mixture evenly into the pocket of each chicken breast. You can use toothpicks to secure the opening if necessary.
  5. Season the outside of the stuffed chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  6. Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side until lightly golden brown.
  7. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear.
  8. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For an extra layer of flavor, you can add a pinch of dried oregano to the filling.
  • If you prefer not to sear the chicken first, you can place the raw, stuffed chicken directly into the prepared baking dish and adjust the total baking time accordingly.
  • Serving this dish with a side salad keeps it perfectly low-carb.
