Instructions
-
Prepare the chicken: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness and prepare a baking dish by greasing or lining it.
-
Make the filling: In a bowl, combine crumbled feta, chopped spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper.
-
Stuff and roll the chicken: Place a generous amount of the filling in the center of each chicken breast and roll it tightly. Secure with toothpicks if needed.
-
Sear the chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken rolls for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
-
Bake: Transfer the rolls to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F).
-
Serve: Let the chicken rest for a few minutes, slice, and garnish with fresh herbs. Serve with your favorite sides.
Notes
Cheese Swap: Replace feta with goat cheese or mozzarella for a different flavor.
Vegetarian Option: Replace chicken with portobello mushrooms for a delicious vegetarian version.
Storage/Reheating: Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes.
