Preparation
Step 1
Gather all ingredients.
Step 2
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Pat chicken dry using paper towels. Cut a horizontal slit in the thickest part of each chicken breast to create a pocket, making sure not to cut all the way through.
Step 3
Stir together paprika, salt, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a small bowl until combined. Rub chicken with paprika mixture until evenly coated.Â
Step 4
Stir together spinach, feta, lemon juice, scallions, garlic, and dill in a medium bowl until blended. Stuff each pocket with 1/4 cup of the spinach mixture. Close pockets with wooden picks.Â
Step 5
Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium. Add chicken, and cook until spices toast and darken, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
Step 6
Transfer skillet to preheated oven, and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest portion of chicken registers 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 15 minutes. Remove and discard wooden picks.
