Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Lightly grease a baking dish.
Pat chicken breasts dry. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a deep pocket into the thickest part of each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through.
In a medium bowl, combine the quark, chopped spinach, crumbled feta cheese, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until everything is evenly distributed.
Spoon the quark mixture evenly into the pockets of the chicken breasts. Secure the openings with toothpicks if needed to prevent filling from escaping.
Place the stuffed chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Drizzle lightly with olive oil.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F).
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Remove toothpicks if used.
💡 Pro Tip
For an extra layer of flavor and moisture, you can add a few cherry tomatoes or a splash of chicken broth to the baking dish before cooking. Serve with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
