• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 15 minutes
• total time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

4 organic boneless (skinless chicken breasts, about 6 oz each)

3/4 tsp kosher salt

3/4 tsp paprika

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1 cup baby spinach (chopped)

2/3 cup sundried tomatoes in oil (drained and chopped)

2/3 cups crumbled feta cheese

1 medium shallot (chopped)

1 large garlic clove (minced)

1/4 cup chopped fresh basil

2 tablespoons plain or gluten-free panko

1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano

1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

1 tablespoon olive oil (divided)

Directions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

Use a sharp knife to slice a pocket into the sides of each chicken breast. Make sure you don't cut all the way through, just enough to create a place for the spinach mixture to go.

Season both sides of each chicken breast with 3/4 teaspoon salt, paprika and garlic powder. Set aside.

In a medium bowl combine the sun dried tomatoes, spinach, feta cheese, shallots, garlic, basil, panko, oregano, parmesan cheese, salt and 1/2 tablespoon olive oil.

Mix well and set aside.

Divide spinach mixture between the chicken breasts and stuff into each, about 3/4 cup each. If needed, you can use toothpicks to close chicken breast.

Heat a large, oven-safe or cast iron skillet over medium heat.

Add the remaining oil and once hot, sear the chicken breasts on each side for about 2 to 3 minutes, until browned.

Transfer skillet to oven and finish cooking 12 to 15 minutes, until chicken reaches 165 degrees F.

Remove from oven and tent with foil for 5 minutes before eating.

Remove toothpicks and eat right away.
