How to Make Keto Spinach and Feta Stuffed Chicken
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup spinach leaves, chopped
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, pieces

- 2 garlic cloves, cut into pieces
- Two tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of oregano leaves
- Salt and fresh pepper to the taste
- Toothpicks for securing the chicken
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven. With the lids of your casseroles and pans set aside, crank your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit or 190 degrees Celsius.
Prepare the Filling: Place chopped spinach, feta cheese, cream cheese, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper in a mid-sized bowl. Combine all the ingredients by mixing them well.
Stuff the Chicken: Take each chicken breast and cut it width-wise in the middle to form a pocket. Make sure that the cut is not complete. The pockets created in the previous step should be filled with a mixture of spinach and feta.
Secure the Chicken: Close up the chicken breasts with toothpicks so that the stuffing will not ooze out when cooking.
Sear the Chicken: In a large skillet that is safe for the oven, pour olive oil and warm over medium to high heat. Each chicken breast should be seared for 2 – 3 minutes maximum on each side until brown each side.
Bake: Put the skillet which was in the range of the heated oven for about 20 to 25 minutes or the chicken is well cooked with its guidelines been 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Serve: Pull out the toothpicks after serving, and enjoy stuffing which is warm with some roasted vegetables or green salad on the side.
