Ingredients

Chicken:

Mushroom Stuffing:

  • 1 Tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 medium-sized onion finely chopped
  • 16 ounces mushrooms chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 5 ounces baby spinach
  • 6 ounces feta cheese
  • ¼ tsp sea salt to taste

Instructions

  • Add 1 tablespoon of avocado oil to a large non-stick skillet and heat to medium-high. Add the onion and stir well. Saute until the onion is very fragrant and begins to soften, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Add the chopped mushrooms and stir well. Cover the skillet with a lid and allow the onion and mushrooms to cook until the mushrooms begin to leach liquid, about 5 minutes. 
  • Remove the lid and stir in the garlic and spinach. Cook, stirring constantly until the spinach has wilted. Stir in the feta cheese until combined.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and use a sharp knife to carefully cut a slit (or “pocket”) into each breast.
  • Transfer the chicken breasts to an oiled or sprayed large casserole dish.
  • Drizzle each chicken breast with avocado oil, then sprinkle liberally with sea salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper. Drizzle the chicken breasts again with a small amount of avocado oil and use your hands to spread around the oil and seasonings over the breasts.
  • Scoop the stuffing into each chicken breast, filling them up to your heart’s desire. 
  • If you have them, use toothpicks to secure the filling into the chicken breasts (no worries if you don’t have them).
  • Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the chicken breasts are completely cooked through.
  • Serve with your choice of sides and enjoy!
