Spinach Tomato Feta Stuffed Chicken Breast

No boring chicken breasts here! I knew this spinach-tomato-feta mixture, inspired by my stuffed portobello recipe from the Skinnytaste Air Fryer Cookbook, would be amazing stuffed in a chicken breast. This dish has flavor overload. Not to mention, it's high in protein and low in carbs – a filling meal in one! If you want, add a side salad.

Spinach Tomato and Feta Stuffed Chicken Breast

Stuffed Chicken Ingredients:

This chicken is packed with delicious Italian ingredients:

  • Veggies: Sun dried tomatoes, spinach, shallots, and garlic
  • Cheese: Feta and Parmesan
  • Herbs: Basil and oregano
  • Staples: Panko, salt, and olive oil

How To Stuff

After you slice a pocket into the sides of the chicken breasts, put ¾ cup of the veggie/cheese mixture into each piece. If needed, you can use a toothpick to keep the chicken together.

Next, sear the chicken on both sides for a couple of minutes in a cast iron skillet and then transfer to the oven to bake for 12 to 15 minutes at 425 degrees. Cook until a thermometer inserted into the chicken reaches 165 degrees.

Tips for Spinach Tomato Feta Stuffed Chicken Breast:

  • Look for organic chicken, which typically has smaller breasts.
  • Be careful not to cut your chicken breast all the way through.
  • Chop your ingredients small so they can all fit inside the chicken.
  • If you don't have an oven-safe or cast iron skillet, sear the chicken in a skillet first, and then transfer to an oven-safe dish.
  • Refrigerate leftovers for up to four days.
  • To freeze the leftovers, transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to three months.
