Ever since I created this Spinach Feta Stuffed Chicken, it’s wound up on our dinner table weekly! In part, that’s because the whole family loves it. But it’s also because this is one of my favorite things to make, at the moment.
With minimal prep time and just about 15 minutes of cooking time, this definitely qualifies as a quick and easy dish to whip up. At the same time, it’s absolutely delicious! The flavor of the feta, when combined with the spinach, and just the subtlest bite from the green chili is like a match made in heaven.
But even though this Spinach Feta Stuffed Chicken may taste (and look) indulgent, it’s actually a wonderful combination of protein, greens, and some good fats. In short, it’s the perfect main to build your meal around! Boil some pasta or roast some vegetables while you’re making the chicken, and you’ll have a whole meal ready in no time at all.
