Closet Cooking

Cooking adventures in a small, closet sized, kitchen. - I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years. It was time for a change! I now spend my free time searching for, creating and trying tasty new recipes in my closet sized kitchen.

Spinach and Feta Baked Chicken

[heart_this] · May 11, 2020 · 14 Comments

Spinach and Feta Baked Chicken

Tender chicken covered in spinach and feta along with plenty of melted cheese!

Spinach, feta and fresh herbs is a fabulous flavour combination that I particularly enjoy in meals like spanakopita, a Greek style spinach and feta pie wrapped in crispy phyllo pastry. Baking chicken with toppings is a dish that is super easy and the spinach and feta flavour combo is and great one for it! This dish starts with the mixture of spinach and feta along with parsley, dill, green onions, lemon and garlic along with cream cheese which help bind it all together. This mixture is spread on top of the chicken and topped with more cheese before baking until the chicken is cooked and the cheese is melted! A quick and easy meal that tastes amazing!

    I made this on Sunday and we liked it so much I made it again tonight. I realise now that I forgot the mozzarella and I didn’t have any green onions, so the garlic was definitely not optional! It was still yummy and will feature regularly in our supper menus.

    Kudos for your amazing recipes! I am a Greek Yiayia and naturally Greek cuisine is my forte. I made this and wow, it was fantastic! Everyone loved it. I highly recommend a dash of nutmeg. It adds a wonderful zing to spinach recipes. You are very creative!!!
    Thank you

      This would be good with salmon! The bake time would be less, about 15-20 minutes.

      I like fresh but frozen (thawed and squeezed) works! Enjoy!

    Ich würde das Rezept gerne nächste Woche mal ausprobieren. Mir stellt sich nur die Frage, was essen wir dabei? Reis, Kartoffeln, Nudeln, Kroketten oder braucht es keine Beilage?
