Preparation Steps
1
Cut pockets lengthwise into the chicken breasts. Season inside and out with salt and pepper.
2
Crumble the feta cheese and mix it with the chopped spinach. Stuff the chicken breasts with the mixture and secure the pockets with toothpicks.
3
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear the stuffed chicken breasts on both sides for 4-5 minutes until golden brown. Transfer to a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through.
4
While the chicken is baking, prepare the vegetable side dish. Wash and chop the vegetables (bell peppers, zucchini, carrots, and onion) into bite-sized pieces.
5
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté the vegetables for 8-10 minutes, until tender-crisp.
6
Add the minced garlic and fresh parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
7
Remove the baked chicken breasts from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with the roasted vegetables and garnish with fresh parsley.
