Ingredients:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cups fresh spinach leaves
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Toothpicks or kitchen twine for securing

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
  2. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the fresh spinach leaves to the skillet and cook until wilted, stirring occasionally.
  4. Remove the skillet from the heat and let the spinach cool slightly.
  5. Once the spinach has cooled, transfer it to a mixing bowl. Stir in the crumbled feta cheese, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and pepper.
  6. Use a sharp knife to make a pocket in each chicken breast. Be careful not to cut all the way through.
  7. Stuff each chicken breast with the spinach and feta mixture, pressing down gently to pack it in.
  8. Secure the openings of the chicken breasts with toothpicks or kitchen twine to prevent the filling from spilling out.
  9. Place the stuffed chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish.
  10. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear.
  11. Remove the toothpicks or twine before serving.
  12. Serve the Low Carb Spinach and Feta Stuffed Chicken Breast hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
