    Spinach and Feta stuffed chicken on a plate

    I'm always in search of a new, but quick way to make chicken. Spinach and Feta Stuffed Chicken is a great combination of flavors, while spicing up your standard chicken dinner. It's a flavor packed meal that is sure to be a hit.

    You can't go wrong with when you pair together the tangy flavor of feta, the summer taste of sun dried tomatoes, and the addition of fresh spinach. You didn't realize this was missing from your life until now.

    Spinach and Feta Stuffed Chicken is a great main dish that easily pairs with your favorite side. You can keep it simple with a basic side salad and let the chicken do the talking, or you could go bold and add a delicious pasta. Either way, you're winning!

    How to easily tenderize chicken

    My new favorite thing to do to chicken is beat it with a meat tenderizer! I always wondered why my chicken was so tough and chewy (GROSS). Then I got a meat tenderizer. This seems like a no brainer now, because it's literally in the name of the utensil, but it took me waaaay too long to catch on. It's a game changer for sure!

    How to assemble Spinach and Feta Stuffed Chicken

    When assembling Spinach and Feta stuffed Chicken, be sure to have plenty of toothpicks on hand. Don't be afraid to use as many as necessary to keep your bundle of flavor inside the chicken.

    Place the seam down on the parchment paper to help hold things together.

    Spinach and Feta Stuffed Chicken on a plate

    This recipe makes 4 medium stuffed chicken breasts. If you are cooking for a smaller crew, you don't have to double down on the inside ingredients. Just add more stuffing to less chicken breasts. Your taste buds will thank me later.
