How to Make Spinach and Feta Stuffed Chicken Meat
- Drizzle olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat, cook minced garlic for 1 minute, then add spinach and sauté until just wilted, about 2–3 minutes.
- Transfer the spinach mixture to a bowl, let it cool slightly, then stir in crumbled feta cheese and grated lemon zest until well blended and creamy.
- Place each boneless chicken breast between plastic wrap, gently pound to ½-inch thickness for even cooking, then season both sides with salt, pepper, and a light dusting of paprika.
- Spoon equal portions of the cooled spinach and feta filling into the center of each breast, then fold over or secure with toothpicks to encase the cheesy mixture completely.
- Heat olive oil in an ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat, sear stuffed breasts 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown, then transfer to a 375°F oven and bake for 20 minutes.
- Remove chicken from the oven, let it rest for 5 minutes to retain juices, then slice and garnish with fresh parsley and lemon wedges for a vibrant finish.
