Description

This Easy Chicken Breast with Feta and Spinach is a quick and flavorful dish perfect for a healthy weeknight dinner. Tender chicken breasts are seasoned and seared to a golden brown, then baked with fresh spinach and crumbly feta cheese for a Mediterranean-inspired meal that’s both nutritious and delicious.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Seasoning

  • 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 ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the chicken evenly.
  2. Prepare and Season Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts on both sides with garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper to build layers of flavor.
  3. Sear Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in the hot skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until they develop a golden-brown crust which locks in juices.
  4. Assemble for Baking: Transfer the seared chicken breasts to an oven-safe dish. Top each breast evenly with chopped spinach and crumbled feta cheese for a fresh and tangy complement.
  5. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) ensuring it is fully cooked.
  6. Finish and Serve: Remove from the oven, optionally drizzle with balsamic vinegar for added depth, and serve warm with your favorite sides.

Notes

  • Ensure the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
  • Searing the chicken before baking locks in moisture for a juicier result.
  • Balsamic vinegar is optional but adds a nice tangy finish to the dish.
  • For a low-fat version, use reduced-fat feta cheese or reduce the amount of olive oil.
  • This recipe pairs well with roasted vegetables or a simple quinoa salad.
