Ingredients

  • 4 (8 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breasts
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach , thawed and squeezed dry
  • 2 ounces feta cheese in brine, crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped green onions
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried dill

Steps

  1. Gather all ingredients.
  2. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Pat chicken dry using paper towels. Cut a horizontal slit in the thickest part of each chicken breast to create a pocket, making sure not to cut all the way through.
  3. Stir together paprika, salt, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a small bowl until combined. Rub chicken with paprika mixture until evenly coated.
  4. Stir together spinach, feta, lemon juice, scallions, garlic, and dill in a medium bowl until blended. Stuff each pocket with 1/4 cup of the spinach mixture. Close pockets with wooden picks.
  5. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium. Add chicken, and cook until spices toast and darken, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
  6. Transfer skillet to preheated oven, and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest portion of chicken registers 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 15 minutes. Remove and discard wooden picks.
