Method

Restated from the original video

  1. 1

    Heat the oven to 190 °C (375 °F).

  2. 2

    Lay a chicken breast flat and cut a deep pocket into the thick side with a sharp knife, without cutting through the other edges. Repeat with the other breasts.

  3. 3

    Heat 1 tbsp of the olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Cook the garlic for 30 seconds.

  4. 4

    Add the spinach and stir until wilted, about 2 min. Tip it into a bowl and let it cool for 5 min.

  5. 5

    Squeeze out any liquid, then mix in the sun-dried tomatoes, feta, oregano and half of the pepper.

  6. 6

    Stuff each pocket with the filling and close it with a toothpick.

  7. 7

    Sprinkle salt and the remaining pepper over all sides of the stuffed breasts.

  8. 8

    Wipe out the skillet and heat the remaining 2 tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken until golden, 3-4 min per side.

  9. 9

    Move the skillet to the oven. Roast until the thickest part reaches 74 °C (165 °F), 12-15 min.

  10. 10

    Rest for 5 min, remove the toothpicks and slice the chicken to serve.
