Description

This Easy Chicken Breast with Feta and Spinach is a flavorful, quick, and healthy meal perfect for busy weeknights. Tender chicken breasts are seasoned and seared to golden perfection before being topped with fresh spinach and tangy feta cheese, then baked to juicy finish. A drizzle of balsamic vinegar adds a bright, slightly sweet touch that complements the savory dish beautifully.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 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

Topping

  • 1 cup spinach, chopped
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled

Optional

  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the chicken after searing.
  2. Season the chicken: In a skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. While it warms, season the chicken breasts evenly with garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper for balanced flavor.
  3. Sear the chicken: Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the hot skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown, creating a flavorful crust.
  4. Assemble for baking: Transfer the seared chicken breasts to an oven-safe dish. Top each breast with chopped spinach and crumbled feta cheese to add freshness and creaminess.
  5. Bake the chicken: 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 safely cooked through.
  6. Finish and serve: Remove from oven and, if desired, drizzle each portion with balsamic vinegar for a slight tang. Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes.

Notes

  • Ensure chicken is fully cooked by checking that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  • Use fresh spinach for the best flavor and texture, but baby spinach can be substituted.
  • Feta cheese adds saltiness, so adjust additional salt accordingly.
  • Balsamic vinegar is optional but enhances the dish with a touch of acidity and sweetness.
  • Serve with roasted vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad for a balanced meal.
