Description

These spinach- and feta-stuffed chicken breasts feature a zesty filling wrapped with crispy bacon for an easy weeknight meal the family will love.

Ingredients

1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
2 cloves garlic, chopped
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
4 slices bacon

Directions

1 Gather the ingredients.
2 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
3 Mix together spinach, mayonnaise, feta cheese, and garlic in a large bowl until well blended. Set aside.
4 Carefully butterfly chicken breasts, making sure not to cut all the way through.
5 Spread spinach mixture onto chicken breasts.
6 Fold the chicken breasts to enclose filling. Wrap each with a piece of bacon; secure with a toothpick. Place in a shallow baking dish.
7 Bake, covered, in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 30 to 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of each breast should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
