🥄 Texture

Seared chicken exterior will be slightly crisp while the interior remains moist and tender from the stuffing. The filling provides a creamy, melty bite from the cheese with soft, slightly chewy sundried tomatoes and wilted spinach for contrast.

👃 Aroma

Warm, savory notes of olive oil and seared chicken dominate, complemented by a concentrated tomato sweetness from the sundried tomatoes and a tangy, cheesy scent. A light herby and peppery background (from seasoning) rounds out the Mediterranean aroma.

🍷 Pairs Well With

A crisp, citrusy Sauvignon Blanc or a dry rosé; alternatively a light-bodied Pinot Noir for those preferring red wine.

🥗 Side Dishes

Roasted baby potatoes or lemon-herb couscous, a simple Greek salad (cucumber, tomato, red onion, olives) or steamed green beans with a squeeze of lemon.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Place chicken breasts on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a pocket into the thickest part of each breast, being careful not to cut all the way through. Season the inside and outside with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    In a small bowl, mix together the chopped spinach, sundried tomatoes, and cheese. Divide this mixture in half and stuff each chicken breast pocket with the filling. Use your fingers to gently pack it in.

  3. 3

    Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully place the stuffed chicken breasts in the pan and cook for 6-7 minutes on the first side until golden brown.

  4. 4

    Flip the chicken breasts carefully and cook for another 6-7 minutes on the second side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (or the chicken is no longer pink inside). If needed, reduce heat to medium to prevent burning.

  5. 5

    Remove from heat and let rest for 2-3 minutes before serving. The chicken is ready to eat!
