Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 cups fresh spinach, chopped

1 cup feta cheese, crumbled

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

1 tablespoon olive oil

Zest of 1 lemon

Fresh lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped spinach, feta cheese, cream cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated. Add the lemon zest for a fresh flavor boost.

      Prepare the Chicken: Take each chicken breast and carefully make a horizontal cut along the side to create a pocket. Be sure not to cut all the way through.

        Stuff the Chicken: Generously stuff each chicken breast with the spinach and feta mixture. Use toothpicks to secure the openings if necessary.

          Sear the Chicken: In a large, oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the stuffed chicken breasts and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.

            Bake the Chicken: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

              Rest and Serve: Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. Serve hot with fresh lemon wedges on the side.
