Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced
  • 2 cups fresh baby spinach, chopped
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Tip: Use an oven thermometer for accuracy.
  2. In a bowl, mix strawberries, spinach, and feta (if using). Tip: Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to soften the spinach.
  3. Cut a pocket into each chicken breast, being careful not to cut through. Tip: Use a sharp knife for clean cuts.
  4. Stuff each breast with the strawberry-spinach mixture and secure with toothpicks. Tip: Don’t overstuff—the filling will expand slightly.
  5. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 3 minutes per side. Tip: Searing locks in juices.
  6. Transfer skillet to the oven and bake for 15–18 minutes, until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C). Tip: Use a meat thermometer for perfect doneness.
  7. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm. Tip: Resting ensures juicy chicken.
