Ingredients:

6 chicken breasts
710g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g
1 package frozen spinach
280g
8 oz feta cheese
230g
1/2 cup mayonnaise salad dressing
120g
1 garlic clove
3g
1/2 tsp paprika
1.05g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prep the Chicken: Season both sides of the chicken breasts with a dash of salt and black pepper.
3. Prepare the Spinach Mixture:
- Thaw the frozen spinach in the microwave or on the stovetop. Drain thoroughly to remove excess moisture.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the spinach, crumbled feta cheese, mayonnaise salad dressing, and minced garlic. Mix well until everything is evenly combined.
4. Assemble the Dish:
- Lay the seasoned chicken breasts in a single layer in a baking dish.
- Evenly distribute the spinach and feta mixture over each chicken breast, covering them completely.
- Sprinkle paprika over the top for a dash of color and flavor.
5. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken breasts are cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
6. Finish and Serve: Remove the baking dish from the oven and allow it to sit for a couple of minutes. Serve hot, plating each chicken breast with a generous portion of the spinach and feta topping.

Tips:

- Consider using fresh spinach instead of frozen for a different texture and added freshness.

- Marinate the chicken breasts in olive oil, lemon juice, and Greek herbs for at least 30 minutes before cooking for extra flavor.

- To achieve a crispy top layer, try broiling the dish for a few minutes after baking.

- Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the cooked dish to brighten up the flavors.

- If you prefer a lower-fat option, use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise salad dressing.
