Instructions

Step 1
Prepare all the necessary ingredients. Choose young spinach, as it is more tender and aromatic.

Step 2
If the chicken breasts are large, cut them into thick pieces so that you can make a slit inside. Make a slit in each piece to create a pocket. Season the breasts with salt to taste on the outside and inside.

Step 3
Prepare the filling: grate the hard cheese, add chopped spinach and pressed garlic. Mix everything together. You can also add your favorite spices, but for me, garlic is quite enough.

Step 5
Secure the cut edges with toothpicks so the filling doesn't leak out and remains sealed inside during baking. Place the chicken pockets on a baking sheet or in a baking dish and brush lightly with olive oil. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 20–25 minutes. Periodically brush the pockets with olive oil so they develop a beautiful golden color on top.
