Looking for an amazing weeknight dinner that is effortless to prepare? Our Mediterranean-inspired stuffed chicken breast is packed with bold, irresistible flavour! The filling is a luxurious blend of creamy Krinos Macedonian style feta cheese, fresh spinach, cream cheese, savoury sundried tomatoes and the fresh, fragrant notes of basil. With only a few ingredients and minimal prep time, you’ll have a wholesome, mouthwatering meal on the table in under 40 minutes.

Prepare the Chicken
Begin by preparing your chicken breasts. Working with one at a time, lay each breast flat on a cutting board, smooth side up. With your hand steadying the top, use a sharp knife to create a deep pocket on the thickest side of the chicken, being careful not to slice through. Repeat for all six breasts and set them aside.

Make the Filling
Next, heat a large, oven-proof skillet over medium heat and add 2 cups of roughly chopped spinach. In about two minutes, the spinach will wilt down perfectly. Transfer the spinach to a mixing bowl and let it cool. Once cooled, stir in 4 oz softened cream cheese, ½ cup drained and chopped sundried tomatoes, 1 cup of loosely packed basil leaves, and 1 clove of finely chopped garlic. Finally, fold in 3 oz of Macedonian style Krinos feta cheese.

Stuff and Season the Chicken
Take the prepared filling and divide it evenly among the chicken pockets. Stuff each breast generously, ensuring the mixture is tucked well inside. Season the chicken with salt and pepper to taste.

Brown & Bake
Wipe out the skillet you used for the spinach, then heat 2 tbsps of Extra Virgin Olive Oil over medium-high heat. Brown the stuffed chicken breasts for three minutes on each side until golden and crispy. Once browned, transfer the skillet to a preheated oven and bake the chicken at 160°F for about 16-18 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.

Rest & Serve
Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before to ensure every bite is tender and juicy.

With this stuffed chicken breast recipe, you can create a restaurant-quality meal without the hassle. It’s a quick, one-pan dish that requires minimal cleanup—perfect for weeknights when time is of the essence, but flavour is non-negotiable. Serve this with a side of simple greens or roasted vegetables, and you’ve got yourself a complete, balanced meal.
