Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 cups fresh spinach (chopped)
1/2 cup feta cheese (crumbled)
1/4 cup cream cheese (softened)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil

Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the chopped spinach, feta cheese, cream cheese, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

Stuff the Chicken: Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a pocket into each chicken breast (be careful not to cut all the way through). Stuff each pocket generously with the spinach and feta filling.

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

Serve: Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired. This dish pairs wonderfully with rice, quinoa, or a fresh salad!
