For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese to the stuffing. If you don't have butcher's twine, you can secure the chicken with toothpicks. Serve this dish with a side of roasted vegetables, quinoa, or a fresh Greek salad for a complete and satisfying meal.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the Chicken: Place chicken breasts on a flat work surface. Butterfly each breast by slicing horizontally through the middle, being careful not to cut all the way through. Open the two sides and spread them out like a book. Place each breast between two sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap. Using the smooth side of a meat mallet, gently pound the chicken to an even 1/4-inch thickness. (5 minutes)
02
StepPreheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
03
StepStuff the Chicken: Season the insides of the flattened chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Layer spinach, tomato, red onion, and feta cheese evenly over each breast. Gently roll the chicken over the stuffing to create a neat bundle and secure the ends with butcher's twine. (10 minutes)
04
StepPrepare the Lemon-Herb Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. (5 minutes)
05
StepSear and Bake: Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the stuffed chicken breasts and sear until golden brown on all sides, about 5 minutes per side. Brush half of the lemon-herb sauce over the seared chicken. (15 minutes)
06
StepBake to Perfection: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and pour the remaining sauce over the chicken. Return to the oven and continue baking until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the chicken reads at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), approximately 10 to 15 minutes more. (45 minutes)
07
StepRest and Serve: Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into pinwheels. Drizzle the pan juices over the sliced chicken and serve immediately.
