Description

This Easy Chicken Breast with Feta and Spinach recipe combines tender, seared chicken breasts with a flavorful topping of fresh spinach and tangy feta cheese. Finished off in the oven for a juicy, savory meal, this 25-minute dish is perfect for a quick and healthy weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Topping

  • 1 cup spinach, chopped
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the chicken after searing.
  2. Season Chicken: In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. While heating, season the chicken breasts evenly with garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper.
  3. Sear Chicken: Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the hot skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until they develop a golden-brown crust.
  4. Prepare for Baking: Transfer the seared chicken breasts to an oven-safe dish. Evenly top each chicken breast with chopped spinach and crumbled feta cheese to add flavor and moisture during baking.
  5. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C), ensuring it is fully cooked and juicy.
  6. Finish and Serve: Optional: Drizzle balsamic vinegar over the chicken before serving for an added tangy depth. Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes.

Notes

  • You can substitute fresh spinach with frozen spinach that’s been drained and squeezed dry if fresh is unavailable.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken is cooked safely to 165°F (74°C).
  • For added flavor, marinate the chicken breasts in olive oil and spices for 30 minutes prior to cooking.
  • Serve alongside roasted vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently to preserve moisture.
