Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (approx. 6 oz each)
  • 4 ounces crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic , minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon hone y

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a small mixing bowl, combine the crumbled feta cheese, chopped spinach, minced garlic, and dried oregano until well integrated.
  • Place each chicken breast on a cutting board and slice a pocket into the thickest part of the side, taking care not to cut all the way through.
  • Stuff each chicken pocket evenly with the feta and spinach mixture; secure the openings with wooden toothpicks if necessary.
  • Season the exterior of the chicken breasts evenly with kosher salt and black pepper.
  • Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat on the stovetop.
  • Place the chicken in the skillet and sear for 3 to 4 minutes per side until a golden-brown crust has formed.
  • Transfer the skillet directly into the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  • While the chicken is baking, combine the balsamic vinegar and honey in a small saucepan over medium heat; simmer until reduced by half and slightly thickened.
  • Remove the chicken from the oven, let rest for 5 minutes, and drizzle with the balsamic glaze immediately before serving.
