Instructions

1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

2

In a bowl, mix the slightly expired spinach, crumbled feta cheese, olive oil, salt, and pepper.

3

Cut a pocket into each chicken breast by slicing horizontally through the side.

4

Stuff each chicken breast with the spinach and feta mixture, dividing it equally.

5

Secure the openings with toothpicks if needed.

6

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the stuffed chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side.

7

Transfer the chicken breasts to a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until cooked through.

8

Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for food safety.

9

Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.

10

Remember to discard any leftover stuffing mixture as it may contain raw chicken juices.
