Ingredients

Scale

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon fresh dill, chopped
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a pocket into the side of each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through.
In a medium bowl, combine the chopped spinach, crumbled feta cheese, finely chopped red onion, minced garlic, dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Mix well.
Stuff each chicken breast pocket evenly with the spinach and feta mixture.
Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the stuffed chicken breasts and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-22 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
While the chicken is baking, prepare the Greek yogurt sauce by mixing the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, chopped fresh dill, garlic powder, and salt and black pepper to taste in a small bowl.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the stuffed chicken breasts warm with a generous dollop of the Greek yogurt sauce on top or on the side.
