Chicken Breast Stuffed with Spinach and Feta Recipe



Chicken Breast Stuffed with Spinach and Feta Recipes

Ingredients :

4 chicken breast fillets

1 tbsp olive oil

2 garlic cloves, crushed

250g (9 oz) English spinach, stems removed

125g (4.5 oz) feta cheese, crumbled

2 tsp grated lemon zest

40g (1/4 cup) semi-dried (sun-blushed) tomatoes, chopped

2 tbsp oil

Method :

Butterfly the chicken fillets with a sharp knife by slicing horizontally through the middle. Do not cut all the way through. Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant. Wash the spinach and add to the pan with just the water clinging to the leaves. Cover the saucepan for about 1 minute, or until the spinach has wilted. Remove the lid and simmer for 1-2 minutes, or until most of the liquid has evaporated. Remove from the pan and roughly chop. Stir in the feta, lemon zest and semi-dried tomato, then put in a large bowl and mix it all together well.

Open up one of the chicken breasts and place a quarter of the spinach mixture in the centre and along the length. Fold over the chicken to cover the mixture and secure it firmly with toothpicks. Repeat with the remaining fillets. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat, add the chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and golden brown. Cut into thick slices and serve over steamed green beans and Kalamata olives. Sprinkle with sea salt.
