Preparation

Step 1

In small bowl, combine feta, cream cheese,and herbs
Trim chicken, if necessary. Cut small pockets in chicken and stuff with cheese mixture. sprinkle outside with pepper/ Hold pocket closed with toothpicks if necessary.
In large non-stick skillet, add 1 T EVOO over medium to medium-high heat.
Add chicken.
Cook chicken, turning a few times, until internal temperature is at least 170 F.b(12-15 mins) If the exterior cooks too quickly, you may need to turn the heat down to medium-low to prevent scorching.
Remove chicken.
Pour in broth.
When broth begins to boil, add spinach.
Cook to desired consistency (some people prefer wilted spinach, while I prefer mine to be sauteed until mostly done). stir in nuts and lemon, juice.
Plate spinach covering it with chicken.
