Date nights…they can either be super fun or super stressful. I’m easing things up today with this 30 minute date night menu with this Feta Spinach Stuffed Chicken Breast. In just 30 minutes you’ll have a delicious, and gorgeous dinner. Add a glass of your favorite wine and some music and you’ve got a great date night at home!

The complete side dishes from Alexia that I’m using are basically already made for you. They are the Cauliflower Risotto with Parmesan and Sea Salt and the Mashed Butternut Squash with Butter and Brown Sugar. Can you say YUM?!

These starch alternatives are lighter on the carbs but heavy on the flavor. With the premium vegetables swapping out typical rice and potatoes this meal is heavy in nutrients instead of carbs. All of the new Premium side dishes from Alexia are Non-GMO Project Verified, Gluten-Free, and contain organic dairy.

The thing that I love most about these new sides is that they don’t require additional ingredients to prep, they come ready to cook, and they can be ready in less than 10 minutes!

Easy Spinach Stuffed Chicken Breast

For the protein in our date night dinner, I’m sharing a recipe for quick spinach and feta stuffed chicken breast. It’s literally the easiest recipe ever and it’s sure to impress your significant other. A quick mashup with fresh chopped spinach, feta, cream cheese, some spices, and garlic creates a fresh spinach mixture dip-like filling that can’t be beaten.

A quick sear in an ovenproof skillet gives the chicken a crusty golden exterior then you’ll pop it in the oven to finish cooking. If you’re anything like me, be super careful after you’ve taken the skillet out of the oven to not forget it’s BEEN IN THE OVEN and grab the handle, that’s the WORST. I swear I do that every single time I cook something in a skillet in the oven.

You can keep reading and listen to me ramble on and on about this recipe, or you can hit the jump to recipe button and be taken to the full printable recipe card. It’s the same recipe, but with less ramblings. 🙂 

Easy Stuffed Chicken Breast Recipe

I love this easy stuffed chicken breast recipe. To make this quick date night dish you need to have a few ingredients on hand:

  • chicken breasts
  • spinach (minced)
  • feta
  • cream cheese
  • onion powder
  • minced garlic
  • sea salt
  • pepper
  • red pepper flakes
  • olive oil

I love how fast this recipe comes together. Just a few minutes to prep and then the rest is done for you in the oven. (Which is when we finish up the sides and salad for this date night dinner.) 🙂 

Time needed: 30 minutes.

How to Make Spinach Stuffed Chicken Breast

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.

  2. In a medium bowl mix together all ingredients except chicken. Cut a pocket into the sides of the chicken breast and stuff the chicken with the spinach and cheese mixture.

  3. Heat the olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet, sear the chicken 5 minutes per side then transfer to the oven and bake for 15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.

I like to serve this feta and spinach stuffed chicken breast with a light side salad topped with a bit of extra feta, a drizzle of quality olive oil, a dash of salt and pepper, and a splash of vinegar (balsamic or red wine works great).

I also like to top the butternut squash with an extra pinch of brown sugar on top, totally not necessary but I love the sweet crunch!
