Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Prep the filling:

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  • Add onion and cook for about 8 minutes. Don’t forget to stir occasionally.
  • Add spinach and cook for 1 minute. Remove pan from heat. Add feta and black olives and mix everything well to combine. Set it aside.

Prep the chicken:

  • Cut the chicken into 8 pieces and pound all the four pieces until they are thin. Season chicken with salt and pepper on both sides. Put 1 ½ tablespoon of the spinach mixture in the middle of the chicken and roll it up. Secure together using toothpicks, if needed. Repeat the process for all the chicken pieces.
  • Put ½ cup of the tomato sauce on the bottom of a greased baking dish and set it aside. 
  • In a skillet, sauté the chicken breast in oil until golden brown. Then transfer the chicken to the baking dish.
  • Cover evenly with remaining tomato sauce and bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the chicken gets to an internal temperature of 165°F degrees.
  • Remove chicken from the oven, top with mozzarella cheese and bake for more 2 minutes. Before serving top with fresh parsley.

Notes

  • Make sure to pound the chicken into even thickness so they all cook through at the same time.
  • Since spinach wilts as they cook, it's best to cook them before adding them to the chicken.
  • I recommend shredding your own mozzarella as pre-shredded cheese tends to not melt as smoothly. 
  • To store: Store leftover chicken breasts in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the fridge. 
  • To reheat: You can reheat in the microwave when ready to eat. You can also eat chicken cold.
  • To freeze: You can freeze stuffed chicken breasts in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 3 months.
