Yield: 4
- - 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- - 1 tablespoon olive oil
- - 1 onion finely chopped
- - 2 cloves garlic minced
- - 5 ounces fresh spinach chopped
- - 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- - 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes chopped

**Preheat Oven**: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
**Prepare the Filling**: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
**Cook Spinach**: Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
**Mix the Filling**: In a bowl, combine the cooked spinach mixture, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
**Prepare the Chicken**: Carefully butterfly each chicken breast and pound to an even thickness using a meat mallet.
**Stuff and Roll**: Spoon the spinach and feta mixture onto each chicken breast. Roll tightly and secure with toothpicks.
**Bake**: Place the stuffed chicken breasts seam side down in a baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear.
**Serve**: Remove toothpicks before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
