Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 pieces chicken breasts (boneless and skinless) Choose fresh chicken for best results.
  • 2 cups fresh spinach Can substitute with frozen spinach if needed.
  • ½ cup feta cheese (cbled) Feel free to use goat cheese or mozzarella for a different flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil Use extra vir for more flavor.
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced) Adjust amount to taste.
  • to taste Salt and pepper Season according to preference.
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano For added flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and oregano.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the chicken breasts and sear for about 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Cooking
  1. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and cook for about a minute until fragrant.
  2. Add the fresh spinach and sauté until wilted.
  3. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and sprinkle cbled feta cheese over them.
  4. Cover and cook for another 3-5 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and the chicken to finish cooking.
Serving
  1. Once the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature reaches 165°F), serve warm, optionally paired with whole grains or a fresh salad.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider marinating the chicken in olive oil, garlic, and herbs for an hour before cooking. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
