For this recipe, you will need:- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup chopped spinach
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup panko bread crumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F. 2. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the chopped spinach, crumbled feta cheese, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, minced garlic, olive oil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed. 3. Take each chicken breast and use a sharp knife to create a pocket in the thickest part of the breast. Be careful not to cut through to the other side. 4. Stuff each chicken breast with 1/4 of the spinach and feta mixture, using a spoon to pack it in tightly. Use toothpicks to secure the opening of the chicken breast. 5. Place the flour in a shallow dish. Beat the eggs in a second shallow dish. Combine the panko bread crumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley in a third shallow dish. 6. Dip each stuffed chicken breast into the flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip it into the beaten eggs, making sure to coat it completely. Finally, coat the chicken breast in the panko mixture, pressing the crumbs onto the chicken to ensure they stick. 7. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Once the butter is melted and hot, add the breaded chicken breasts. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the exterior is golden brown and crispy. 8. Transfer the chicken breasts to a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. 9. Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before removing the toothpicks and serving.Nutrition
