Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Baking Dish
  • Toothpicks

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cups fresh kale chopped and stems removed
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese crumbled
  • 2 tbsp cream cheese softened
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil divided
  • 1/2 tsp oregano dried
  • to taste salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.
  • In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and chopped kale; sauté for 2–3 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  • In a bowl, mix sautéed kale with feta, cream cheese, oregano, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  • Slice a pocket into each chicken breast horizontally, being careful not to cut all the way through. Stuff with the kale mixture and secure with toothpicks if needed.
  • Heat remaining olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear each chicken breast for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown.
  • Transfer to the baking dish and bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  • Let rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm with a drizzle of pan juices.

Notes

Pair with roasted cauliflower or a simple side salad for a complete keto meal. You can substitute spinach for kale if preferred.
