Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 cups fresh spinach, chopped

1 cup feta cheese, crumbled

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried basil

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for a spicy kick)

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (for topping)

Fresh lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish lightly with olive oil or non-stick spray.

    Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped spinach, feta cheese, cream cheese, minced garlic, oregano, basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

      Prepare the Chicken: Using a sharp knife, create a pocket in each chicken breast by slicing it horizontally, but do not cut all the way through. Make sure each breast has enough space to hold the filling.

        Stuff the Chicken: Generously fill each chicken breast pocket with the spinach and feta mixture. Use toothpicks to secure the openings if necessary, ensuring that the filling stays inside during cooking.

          Sear the Chicken: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, sear each stuffed chicken breast for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. This will help lock in the juices.

            Bake the Chicken: Transfer the seared chicken breasts to the greased baking dish. Sprinkle the tops with grated Parmesan cheese for added flavor and a nice crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

              Serve: Once baked, let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Remove toothpicks if used. Serve warm with fresh lemon wedges on the side for an extra zing.
