  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 2 tsp. olive oil
  • 4 (5-oz.) boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. In a medium saucepan heat oil over medium-high heat; add spinach and garlic. Cook and stir 3 to 4 minutes or until spinach is tender; set aside.
  2. Place chicken between 2 sheets of plastic wrap. With the flat side of a meat mallet, pound to 1/4-inch thick. Remove plastic wrap.
  3. Spoon one-fourth of the spinach down the center of each breast; top with 1 tablespoon of the feta. Fold long sides in, and roll up from the short end. Secure with wooden toothpicks. Coat chicken with nonstick cooking spray; sprinkle with lemon pepper and oregano. Repeat with remaining chicken, spinach and feta.
  4. Place chicken in a shallow baking dish. Bake 20 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink (165°F). Top with chopped parsley and (if desired) additional crumbled feta, and serve.
