Cooking Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Lay chicken breasts on a cutting board and make a “pocket” in each one by slicing into the side. Be careful not to cut all the way through.
3. In a bowl, mix together the feta, spinach, and sun-dried tomatoes. Stuff this mixture into each chicken breast pocket.
4. Brush chicken breasts with olive oil, and season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Drizzle balsamic vinegar over each one.
5. Place the stuffed chicken breasts in a baking dish lined with parchment paper. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink in the center.
6. Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving.

Plating

To plate this Mediterranean Stuffed Chicken Breast, lay a bed of arugula or your preferred leafy greens. Place the chicken breast at the center of the plate, ensuring the stuffed side is exposed. Garnish with a sprinkle of feta cheese and a few sun-dried tomatoes. Add a drizzle of balsamic reduction around the plate for a fancy touch. It should look colorful and tempting with the elements of Mediterranean flair evident in every part of the plate.
