Elegant Stuffed Chicken Dinner (Printable Format)

Tender chicken breasts rolled around a savory filling of feta cheese, fresh spinach, and tangy sun-dried tomatoes - an impressive yet easy main dish that's both gluten-free and low-carb.

# What You'll Gather:

→ For the Chicken

01 - 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
02 - 2 tbsp olive oil (for searing)
03 - 1 tsp garlic powder
04 - 1/2 tsp onion powder
05 - 1/2 tsp dried oregano
06 - Salt and pepper, to taste

→ For the Filling

07 - 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
08 - 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (packed in oil, drained)
09 - 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
10 - 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (optional, for extra creaminess)

→ For Preparation and Garnish

11 - Toothpicks or kitchen twine (to secure the rolls)
12 - Fresh basil or parsley for garnish (optional)

# Step-by-Step Instructions:

01 - Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
02 - Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to gently pound the chicken to an even thickness, about 1/2-inch thick. This helps the chicken cook evenly and makes it easier to roll up.
03 - In a small bowl, combine the chopped spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, crumbled feta cheese, and mozzarella cheese (if using). Stir until everything is well combined.
04 - Season both sides of the chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Spoon a portion of the feta, spinach, and sun-dried tomato mixture onto the center of each chicken breast. Be generous, but make sure the filling is spread evenly along the center. Carefully roll up the chicken breasts around the filling, securing the ends with toothpicks or kitchen twine to hold the rolls together.
05 - Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken rolls to the skillet and sear on each side for about 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown. This step will give the chicken a nice crispy exterior.
06 - Once the chicken is seared, transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake the chicken for about 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), and the juices run clear.
07 - Remove the chicken from the oven and allow it to rest for a few minutes before removing the toothpicks or twine. Slice the chicken rolls and serve with your favorite side dishes. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley, if desired.

# Important Tips:

01 - If you prefer, you can use chicken thighs instead of breasts for a juicier option.
02 - You can make the filling ahead of time and store it in the fridge until you're ready to prepare the chicken.
03 - Serve this dish with a side of roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh green salad.
04 - For a variation, try adding chopped artichoke hearts or olives to the filling mixture.
