Mediterranean Stuffed Chicken Breast

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (6-8 oz each)
  • 4 oz crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh spinach
  • 1/4 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes (oil-packed, drained)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil, plus more for brushing
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. 1

    Butterfly each chicken breast by slicing horizontally almost all the way through, leaving one side attached, then open it flat like a book.

  2. 2

    In a small bowl, combine the crumbled feta, chopped spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, minced garlic, 1 tablespoon olive oil, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

  3. 3

    Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the filling onto one half of each butterflied chicken breast. Fold the other half over the filling and secure with toothpicks if needed to keep the stuffing inside.

  4. 4

    Lightly brush the stuffed chicken breasts with a little extra olive oil on both sides. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F).

  5. 5

    Place the chicken breasts on the preheated grill grates. Grill for 8-10 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F in the thickest part of the chicken and the outside is nicely charred.

  6. 6

    Carefully remove the chicken from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges.

Why this recipe works best on a clean grill

A clean grill makes this recipe easier because the grates release food evenly, the heat moves predictably, and old grease does not smoke over the fresh ingredients. When carbon buildup sits on the grate, it can leave bitter flavors, create flare-ups, and make delicate foods stick right when they should sear.

Before cooking, preheat the grill fully, scrape the grate with a bristle-free tool, and lightly oil the surface. If your grill has yellow flames, heavy smoke, stubborn hot spots, or a greasy smell before the food goes on, it may need a deeper cleaning before your next cookout.
