Rustic baked chicken breasts with uneven spinach feta filling and browned juices — **TooGut pick**Flexible, practical, genuinely delicious.

Butterfly each breast according to its natural shape rather than cutting a ruler-straight pocket. Some filling should stay tucked in while a little escapes and browns into the pan juices, which is exactly where the character lives.

One step at a time

Let’s cook.

Tick each step as you go. Built-in timers keep the important moments close.

Wilt and cool

Heat the oven to 200°C. Wilt spinach in 1 teaspoon oil, squeeze out excess moisture and chop roughly. Cool for 5 minutes.

Make the filling

Fold spinach with feta, garlic, lemon zest, oregano and black pepper. Keep visible pieces of feta.

Cut natural pockets

Slice each breast horizontally to form a deep pocket, following its shape and not cutting all the way through. Fill generously and secure loosely with toothpicks.

Brown before baking

Rub with remaining oil, paprika and salt. Sear in an ovenproof skillet for 2 minutes a side, then bake for 16 to 20 minutes until cooked through.

Rest in the pan

Rest for 5 minutes. Spoon the browned juices and any escaped feta over the chicken before serving.
