These juicy, perfectly seasoned chicken breasts are stuffed with a delicious spinach and feta mixture, quickly seared until golden brown and then baked in the oven.

For the chicken:
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
For the filling:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 cups fresh spinach

- 2 garlic cloves minced
- Pinch of salt and pepper
Instructions
