Time 1h15m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lemon
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
⅓ cup finely chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
⅓ cup chopped cooked spinach
⅓ cup crumbled feta cheese
3 tablespoons finely chopped Kalamata olives
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 teaspoons all-purpose flour, or as needed
toothpicks
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Zest lemon. Remove lemon pith with a sharp knife and slice flesh horizontally. Reserve slices.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in an oven-safe, nonstick skillet over medium heat until it shimmers, 2 to 3 minutes. Add onion and cook until translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add lemon zest and garlic and heat until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Add spinach to the onion mixture. Cook and stir until heated through, about 3 minutes. Remove spinach-onion mixture to a bowl. Wipe skillet clean and set aside. Stir feta cheese and olives into the spinach mixture. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Cut a 2-inch slit along the edges of the thick side of each chicken breast. Cut lengthwise, being careful not to cut through the bottom or the opposite edge, creating a pocket. Season the pocket with salt and pepper.
  • Stuff each chicken breast with 1/2 of the onion and spinach mixture and close the slits with toothpicks. Dust chicken lightly with flour, salt, and pepper.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes. Place chicken in the hot oil with the rib side facing up. Cook until browned, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Turn chicken rib-side down and place lemon slices on top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 35 minutes.
