Indulge in the Delight of Mediterranean Stuffed Chicken

Experience the culinary bliss of Quick n Easy Mediterranean Stuffed Chicken with these carefully selected ingredients:

  • 4 8-ounce skinless, boneless chicken breasts
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup chopped baby spinach
  • ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • ¼ cup chopped roasted red peppers
  • 1 tablespoon chopped basil
  • 2 tablespoons kalamata olives
  • 2 minced garlic cloves
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (divided)

For an exceptional dining experience, follow these meticulous instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  2. Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel, then carefully create a horizontal slit in the thickest section of each chicken breast to form a pocket, ensuring not to cut all the way through.
  3. Season the chicken breasts with oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper, massaging the seasoning into both sides.
  4. In a small bowl, harmoniously combine chopped baby spinach, crumbled feta cheese, roasted red peppers, basil, olives, minced garlic, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Distribute the mixture equally into the chicken breasts and secure each pocket with toothpicks.
  5. Heat the remaining olive oil in a generously sized oven-safe or cast iron skillet. Sear the stuffed chicken until it achieves a golden brown hue, approximately 3 minutes per side.
  6. Transfer the skillet, uncovered, to the oven for 15-18 minutes or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked.

Delight in this culinary masterpiece and, for optimum freshness, store any leftovers in an airtight container, where they will maintain their savory appeal for up to three days.
