• 2 cups fresh spinach (roughly chopped)

• ½ cup crumbled feta cheese

• 2 oz cream cheese (softened)

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• ½ tsp onion powder

• Salt and pepper to taste

• Toothpicks or kitchen twine

• Optional: paprika or Italian seasoning for extra flavor

How to Make Spinach and Feta Stuffed Chicken

Step 1: Preheat & Prep

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2: Make the Filling

In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the chopped spinach with olive oil and garlic until wilted (about 2 minutes). Remove from heat and mix in the cream cheese and feta until well combined. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.

Step 3: Butterfly the Chicken

Carefully cut a pocket into each chicken breast without slicing all the way through. Gently season each piece with salt, pepper, and onion powder.

Step 4: Stuff & Secure

Spoon the spinach-feta filling evenly into each chicken pocket. Secure with toothpicks or kitchen twine if needed.

Step 5: Bake

Place the stuffed chicken breasts into the baking dish. Lightly sprinkle with paprika or Italian seasoning if desired. Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F.

Step 6: Rest & Serve

Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with cauliflower mash, a crisp salad, or roasted broccoli for a complete keto meal.

Tips & Variations

• No feta? Swap with goat cheese or shredded mozzarella for a milder flavor.

• Add crunch: Mix in a few chopped walnuts or pine nuts to the filling.

• Make it spicy: Add red pepper flakes to the filling for a little heat.

• Air fryer version: Cook at 375°F for about 18–22 minutes, flipping halfway through.
