It starts by sauteeing the spinach until soft and tender, and then rolling the cooked greens with tangy feta into a flattened chicken thigh. Seared and then roasted, the finished chicken is juicy, tender and loaded with greens and cheese. Portioned to serve two, you can easily scale it up if you&#8217;re serving a larger group, or if you have even more leafy greens to use up!<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Ingredients for Spinach and Feta Stuffed Chicken<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2059950\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Spinach-And-Feta-Stuffed-Chicken_TOHD24_176968_DianaChistruga_1.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Ingredients for Spinach and Feta Stuffed Chicken\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Diana Chistruga for Taste Recipes <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"recipe-ingredients__list recipe-ingredients__collection splitColumns\">\n<li><strong>Fresh spinach:<\/strong> Sauteed spinach with a dash of sugar and a splash of apple cider vinegar to balance out any bitterness, fills each roulade of chicken.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chicken: <\/strong>A pair of boneless, skinless thighs is the starring ingredient for this recipe.
