05 - Rub the outside of the breasts with olive oil, season with additional salt and pepper.

01 -

The creamy feta and fresh spinach create this incredible Mediterranean vibe that feels fancy but comes together in under an hour
Each breast is practically a complete meal on its own, packed with 39 grams of protein per serving
The baking method keeps the chicken incredibly juicy while the filling gets all melty and fragrant

02 -

The toothpicks are absolutely necessary unless you want your beautiful filling leaking all over the baking dish
Let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes after baking, this keeps all those juices inside instead of on your cutting board

03 -

Pound your chicken breasts slightly to an even thickness before stuffing for more predictable cooking
If your toothpicks are wooden, soak them for a few minutes so they don't burn in the oven
