How to prepare it step by step?

Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Meanwhile, wash and dry the fresh spinach.
2. In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the spinach and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until wilted. Let cool.
3. In a bowl, mix the cooled spinach with the crumbled feta cheese until well combined.
4. With a knife, make a horizontal cut in the center of each chicken breast to form a pocket. Stuff each breast with the spinach and feta mixture, securing with toothpicks if necessary.
5. Place the stuffed breasts in a baking dish, drizzle with the remaining olive oil, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown on the surface. Use a kitchen thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 75°C.
7. Remove toothpicks before serving. Serve the stuffed breasts hot, accompanied by mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a fresh salad to complete the meal.
