Instructions

1. Prepare the required foods. Chicken fillet is better to take chilled. Defrost frozen spinach beforehand. Peel the garlic.

   

2. The defrosted spinach must be squeezed out of excess liquid. (If the spinach is fresh, simmer it in a skillet for a couple of minutes, until the spinach is dry.) Chop the spinach finely.
3. Mash feta (or feta cheese) with a fork.
4. Grate hard cheese on a fine grater.
5. Squeeze the garlic through a press or grate on a fine grater.
6. In a bowl, combine feta, chopped spinach, garlic and 1/4 cup mayonnaise. Mix well.
7. In another bowl, combine hard cheese and 1 tablespoon. a spoonful of mayonnaise. Mix well.
8. Wash the chicken breast, pat dry with a paper towel, add a little salt. Make a deep cut with a sharp knife, forming a “pocket” and not cutting through the meat. Fill the “pocket” with feta, spinach, garlic and mayonnaise filling.
9. Fasten the incision with wooden skewers (or toothpicks).
10. Spread the mixture of hard cheese and mayonnaise on top of the stuffed breast. Cover a baking sheet with foil, sprinkle a little with oil. Put the stuffed breast on a baking sheet and send to the oven, preheated to 200 degrees.

    

11. Bake chicken fillet with cheese and spinach for 30-40 minutes, until a delicious golden crust. (If the chicken breast is large, the baking time may be increased.)
12. Baked chicken breast stuffed with cheese and spinach can be served with any side dish, with fresh vegetables, sprinkled with herbs.
