Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Carefully butterfly each chicken breast without cutting all the way through.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine feta cheese, spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, salt, black pepper, oregano, and optional red pepper flakes. Mix well.
  3. Lay each butterflied chicken breast flat, distribute the filling evenly in the center, and roll tightly. Secure with toothpicks or kitchen twine.
  4. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear each side of the chicken rolls for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
  5. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  6. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing to reveal the colorful filling.

Notes

Don’t overstuff the chicken. Pound evenly for tenderness and always let it rest after baking to keep it moist. Use toothpicks to secure the rolls during cooking.
