# Ingredients:

→ Chicken Ingredients

01 - 4 chicken breasts, no skin or bones
02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil for browning
03 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
04 - 1/2 teaspoon oregano (dried)
05 - 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
06 - Salt and black pepper to your liking

→ Filling Ingredients

07 - 1/2 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes (drain if packed in oil)
08 - 1 cup chopped fresh spinach
09 - 1/2 cup feta cheese (crumbled)
10 - 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded (optional for added creaminess)

→ Other Items

11 - Kitchen twine or toothpicks (to keep the chicken together)
12 - Fresh parsley or basil for topping (optional)

# Steps:

01 - Turn on your oven and set it to 375°F (190°C).
02 - Cover a chicken breast with parchment paper or plastic wrap. Use a rolling pin or meat mallet to gently flatten it until it’s about half an inch thick. This way, everything cooks evenly and rolls easily.
03 - In a bowl, blend together the sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, feta, and mozzarella (if you like). Stir well so it’s all mixed up.
04 - Sprinkle both sides of the chicken with the garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Spoon some of the filling mixture into the middle of the chicken, spreading it out evenly. Roll the chicken around the filling and secure with twine or toothpicks so it stays closed.
05 - Warm the olive oil in a large skillet that can go into the oven. Add the rolled chicken and let it cook for 2-3 minutes per side, just until it’s golden and crispy.
06 - Put the skillet with the seared chicken into the oven. Let it bake for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken’s center reaches 165°F (74°C).
07 - Take the skillet out and let the chicken cool a bit. Remove the twine or toothpicks. Slice the chicken and pair it with any sides you love. Add parsley or basil on top if you want.

# Notes:

01 - Using chicken thighs can make the dish juicier if you prefer them over breasts.
02 - Feel free to make the filling earlier and keep it in the fridge until you’re set to cook.
03 - Pair this with a green salad, mashed potatoes, or roasted veggies for a full meal.
04 - Want to mix it up? Toss in some chopped artichokes or olives into the stuffing.
