Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 boneless chicken breast fillets , skin on
85g frozen leaf spinach , defrosted
85g feta cheese , crumbled
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp pine nut

Steps:

  • Loosen the skin from the chicken. Drain the spinach in a sieve and press out as much water as possible. Mix with the feta and a little black pepper, then stuff between the flesh and skin of the chicken, smoothing the skin back over the stuffing. Season the chicken all over with a little salt and pepper.
  • Heat the oil in a frying pan with a lid. Add the chicken, skin-side down, and fry until the skin is browned. Turn it over and cook on the other side, then add the pine nuts and fry until lightly toasted. Add 6 tbsp water, then cover for 15-20 mins until the chicken is cooked through.
