I was sooooo in a mood for something Mediterranean tonight…. But I also wanted to try something new, I haven’t made before. Hmmm, feta, kalamata olives, roasted peppers… Let’s pimp-up the old and boring chicken breast and keep it low carb!
Ingredients:
- 1.5 lbchicken breasts
- 3 tbsp kalamata olives chopped
- 4 tbsp chopped roasted peppers (from a jar or just roast one red pepper)
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 1/3 cup chopped parsley + 1 tsp for garnish
- 1 cup baby spinach slightly chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp Aleppo pepper
- 1 tsp fenugreek
- 1/2 tsp white cracked pepper
- Few pinches of paprika
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Preheat the oven to 400F/200C. Score the chicken across the top, deep enough to allow for stuffing to fill the cuts, but not letting the chicken fall apart.
In a sauté pan, heat up olive oil, add spinach and let it wilt a bit, add garlic, sauté a bit more, add olives, roasted pepper and parsley, then add cream cheese, feta and all the spices except for paprika.
Let everything melt/combine
Fill the scored chicken with the stuffing, and place in the oven for 25 min or so…
Take it out and sprinckle with paprika and a bit of parsley. And… Go for it!! 😉
Serve with Mediterranean Faux Rice with Mushrooms and Asparagus and salad of green lettuce (Boston or romain) with the French Dressing
