Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to cook chicken with cheese in the oven? Prepare the following ingredients. Chicken fillet without skin and bones, medium size. I take frozen spinach, you can also use fresh spinach, taking about 1.5 cups. I don’t recommend replacing cream cheese and feta — the filling may not hold its shape well and leak out due to the replacement. Paprika for sprinkling chicken; you can omit it or replace it with other spices. For spicy lovers, the amount of garlic can be increased.

Step 2

Step 2
Turn on the oven to preheat to 180 degrees. Pre-defrost frozen spinach and squeeze, draining excess liquid. I have chopped spinach, if it is frozen in sheets, then it should be cut. In a deep bowl, combine cream cheese, chopped feta, defrosted spinach, and chopped garlic clove. Stir everything until the ingredients are combined, add salt if necessary. The filling should be tasty and thick.

Step 3

Step 3
Rinse the chicken fillet with cold water and pat dry with a paper towel. Using a sharp knife, make an indentation in the middle of each fillet, about a centimeter short of the edge on each side. This way you should have a pocket.

Step 4

Step 4
Place the filling in each pocket, distributing it tightly throughout the fillet. Let some of the filling be visible without the fillet covering it.

Step 5

Step 5
Heat a frying pan with vegetable oil and fry each fillet with filling on both sides for 5 minutes. Try not to let the filling leak out.

Step 6

Step 6
Line an ovenproof dish with baking paper if desired. Place the fried fillets and sprinkle each fillet with paprika. Place the pan in the preheated oven for 10 — 15 minutes. Determine readiness by piercing the fillet with a sharp knife — clear juice indicates the chicken is ready.

Step 7

Step 7
Serve the finished chicken hot. This can be a separate dish, or you can offer it with a side dish of vegetables, rice, potatoes.
