May 17, 2016 by Alisha Hughes Leave a Comment

Spinach and Feta Stuffed Chicken Breasts

I am so happy with the way these turned out! You just need five ingredients for these 5 Smart Point Spinach and Feta Stuffed Chicken Breasts. These are gluten-free and Weight Watcher friendly! These stuffed chicken breasts are so simple and so tasty. . . I really think you will enjoy these!

 

Here is what you need:

Ingredients for Spinach and Feta Stuffed Chicken Breasts

1 T. + 1 1/2 t. olive oil
1 c. chopped yellow onion
5 oz. baby spinach
2 oz. (about 1/2 cup) crumbled feta cheese
4 (6 oz.) skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1/2 t. kosher salt
1/4 t. black pepper

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to pan. Add 1 cup chopped yellow onion; cook 8 minutes, stirring frequently. Onion will soften and brown slightly.

Remove pan from heat. Stir in baby spinach and feta cheese. Continue stirring until the spinach wilts. Allow to cool about 5 minutes.

Cut a horizontal slit through the center of each of the 4 (6 oz.) chicken breasts to make the pocket.

I used my Pampered Chef Close & Cut. It’s perfect for when you have really thick pieces of chicken or when you want to cut lots of grapes, or plum tomatoes all at once. In this case I used it to cut the chicken in half and I just didn’t cut it all the way through. For more details on the close & cut you can go here.

Stuff each “pocket” evenly with spinach mixture. (This was about 3-4 tablespoons of the mixture in each chicken when I made it)

Once filled close the pockets. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.

Heat skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil to pan. Add chicken and cook 4 minutes.

Turn chicken, cover pan and cook 5-7 minutes or until chicken is done.
