Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by preparing your chicken breasts. Butterfly each boneless skinless chicken breast for even cooking.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the crumbled feta cheese, chopped spinach, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, minced garlic, and optional red pepper flakes. Mix well.
  3. Spoon the feta filling along one edge of each butterflied chicken breast and roll tightly. Secure with toothpicks or kitchen twine.
  4. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear each side of the rolled chicken for about 3-4 minutes.
  5. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until cooked through.
  6. Remove from oven and let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
