Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine spinach, cranberries, feta, and minced garlic.
Slice a pocket into each chicken breast and stuff evenly with the filling. Secure with toothpicks or kitchen twine.
Rub chicken with olive oil, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Heat an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and sear chicken 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown.
