Chicken Stuffed with Spinach and Feta Recipe

  1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Heat 2 teaspoons of the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat until shimmering.
  2. Add onion and saute until soft, about 8 to 10 minutes.
  3. Add spinach and saute until wilted and water evaporates, about 2 minutes.
  4. Add nutmeg and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  5. Remove mixture from the pan and transfer to a bowl to cool.
  6. Wipe out the pan and set aside.
  7. Cut each chicken breast in half horizontally.
  8. Using a mallet or the bottom of a pan, pound chicken pieces to an even thickness, about 1/4 inch thick.
  9. Season all over with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  10. Stir feta into cooled spinach mixture.
  11. Lay chicken breasts on a cutting board so the narrowest ends face you.
  12. Place 1/4 of the spinach mixture halfway up each chicken piece.
  13. Fold the bottom of the chicken up over the filling to enclose it, then roll into a tight cylinder.
  14. Use toothpicks or butchers twine to secure the rolls.
  15. Repeat with remaining chicken and filling.
  16. Return the frying pan to medium-high heat and add remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  17. Once oil is shimmering, place chicken breasts in the pan and cook undisturbed until golden brown, about 4 to 6 minutes.
  18. Turn breasts over and transfer the pan to the oven.
  19. Bake until the filling is hot and the interior of the chicken rolls is white but still juicy, about 8 minutes.
