Ingredients

  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup roasted red peppers, chopped
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 0.5 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • for garnish fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped roasted red peppers, fresh spinach, cream cheese, feta cheese, garlic powder, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  3. Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and carefully slice each breast horizontally, creating a pocket but not cutting all the way through.
  4. Stuff each chicken breast with the pepper and cheese mixture, filling them generously. Secure the openings with toothpicks if necessary to keep the filling inside.
  5. In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the stuffed chicken breasts to the skillet and sear for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
  6. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  7. Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes. Remove toothpicks before serving.
  8. Garnish the stuffed chicken with freshly chopped parsley.

💡 Chef's Notes

Serve the stuffed chicken on a platter, drizzled with a little extra olive oil, and perhaps a side of roasted vegetables for color contrast.
