Feta and Spinach Stuffed Chicken Breast
Make use of expired feta cheese by stuffing it into chicken breasts along with spinach. Ensure the chicken is cooked thoroughly to ensure food safety.
Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup spinach, chopped
- 1/2 cup expired feta cheese, crumbled
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a pocket into each chicken breast.
In a bowl, combine the chopped spinach, expired feta cheese, salt, and pepper.
Stuff each chicken breast with the spinach and feta mixture, pressing it in gently.
Secure the openings with toothpicks to prevent the stuffing from falling out.
Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
Add the stuffed chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
Remove the toothpicks before serving.
Serve the stuffed chicken breasts with a side of roasted vegetables or salad.
Ensure the chicken is cooked thoroughly to 165°F (74°C) to ensure food safety.
