Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Lemon wedges (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and position a rack in the center.
- Combine the chopped spinach, crumbled feta, minced garlic, dried oregano, olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a medium bowl.
- Place the chicken breasts in a single layer in a baking dish and season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Spoon the spinach and feta mixture evenly over each chicken breast, pressing lightly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the feta is slightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. Serve hot with lemon wedges if desired.
Notes
For a low-fat option, reduce olive oil and use reduced-fat feta. Frozen spinach can be used if drained well.
