Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Using a sharp knife, carefully butterfly each chicken breast by making a horizontal cut along the side, without cutting all the way through. This will create a pocket to stuff the filling.
3. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
4. In a bowl, combine the cooked spinach, crumbled feta cheese, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
5. Open each chicken breast and spoon the spinach and feta mixture into the pocket, dividing it equally among the chicken breasts. Secure the openings with toothpicks if needed.
6. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add a little olive oil and place the stuffed chicken breasts in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
7. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
8. Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Remember to remove the toothpicks before serving.
9. Serve the Spinach and Feta Stuffed Chicken Breast alongside your favorite keto-friendly side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or cauliflower rice.
