Description

This Easy Chicken Breast with Feta and Spinach recipe offers a flavorful, healthy meal perfect for busy weeknights. Tender chicken breasts are seasoned, seared for a golden crust, and baked topped with fresh spinach and tangy feta cheese for a Mediterranean-inspired dish that’s both satisfying and simple to make.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Seasonings

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Toppings

  • 1 cup spinach, chopped
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the chicken after searing.
  2. Season Chicken: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. While the oil heats, season both sides of the chicken breasts evenly with garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper.
  3. Sear Chicken: Place the seasoned chicken breasts into the hot skillet and sear them for 3-4 minutes per side, until each side is golden brown, helping to lock in flavor and juices.
  4. Transfer and Top: Move the seared chicken breasts into an oven-safe dish. Evenly distribute the chopped spinach over each piece, then sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese on top to melt during baking.
  5. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake the chicken for 15-20 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 165°F (74°C), ensuring the chicken is fully cooked and safe to eat.
  6. Finish and Serve: Remove the chicken from the oven and, if desired, drizzle with balsamic vinegar before serving. Pair with your favorite side dishes for a complete meal.

Notes

  • Make sure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
  • Using fresh spinach is recommended for optimal texture and flavor, but frozen spinach can be substituted if drained well.
  • The balsamic vinegar topping is optional but adds a pleasant tangy sweetness.
  • For a crispier top, broil the chicken for 1-2 minutes after baking, watching carefully to prevent burning.
  • This recipe pairs well with rice, quinoa, or a fresh salad for a balanced meal.
