Keto Spinach And Feta Stuffed Chicken

Ingredients

3 chicken breasts

8 oz bag of fresh spinach (can substitute with frozen spinach)

½ cup feta cheese, crumbled

4 oz cream cheese

1 clove garlic, minced

1/4 tsp salt

extra salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided

Instructions

First Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

In a big sauté pan over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the contents of the 8 oz. bag of fresh spinach and employ a wooden spoon to gently stir for 2-3 minutes until all spinach is wilted. If the pan is too small to hold all the spinach, start with half a bag, allow it to wilt, and add the remaining spinach.

SPINACH FETA STUFFED CHICKEN

After Once all spinach has wilted, take away from heat and spoon into a colander. Press out as much of the excess liquid as possible.

Then In a medium-sized bowl, add the cooked spinach, feta, cream cheese, garlic and salt.

Then put the chicken breasts on a cutting board. Employ a large, flat spatula to press down on the top of the chicken breast and employ your other hand to insert a knife into the thickest side of the chicken. Cut a pocket, being careful not to cut all the way through the other side and stopping before you get to the end of the chicken (creating a pocket, not a flap).

FETA STUFFED CHICKEN

After Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.

Next put about a ½ cup of the spinach cheese combination into each chicken pocket.

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a pan (preferably oven-safe) on medium-high heat. After the pan is heated through, add the chicken breasts – top side down. Allow cooking for five (5) minutes without touching.

Then If you used an oven-safe pan, just place in the oven for 10-15 minutes until chicken has cooked through. If not using an oven-safe pan, just transfer the chicken breasts to an oven-safe dish and bake. If your chicken breasts are quite large – they will need the full fifteen (15) minutes.

Once over baking, allow the chicken to rest for five (5) minutes and serve.
