4 boneless, skinless chicken fillets
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
1 cup roasted red pepper slices
1 cup fresh spinach leaves
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley for garnish
Directions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Using a sharp knife, carefully slice each chicken fillet horizontally to create a pocket, being careful not to cut all the way through.
In a mixing bowl, combine the crumbled feta, roasted red pepper slices, and fresh spinach leaves.
Stuff each chicken fillet with the feta mixture, securing the edges with toothpicks if necessary.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Brush the seasoned olive oil over the stuffed chicken fillets, ensuring they are well coated.
Place the chicken fillets in a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Variations & Tips
For a different flavor profile, try substituting the feta cheese with goat cheese or ricotta. You can also add sun-dried tomatoes or olives to the stuffing for an extra burst of flavor. If you prefer a spicier dish, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the olive oil seasoning. For a gluten-free option, ensure all ingredients, especially the feta cheese, are certified gluten-free.
