Once the stuffed chicken breasts are browned in a skillet, cooking them in microwave gets them done quickly. Be sure to check each piece of chicken--particularly those in the center of the baking dish--to be sure that each of them is cooked through.

Ingredients

6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each)
1/2 cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
5 ounces crumbled feta cheese, divided
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon dried oregano

Directions

Flatten chicken to 1/4-in. thickness. Combine spinach and 1/2 cup feta cheese; spoon down the center of each chicken breast half. Fold chicken over filling and secure with toothpicks. Combine the flour, oregano, salt and pepper; rub over chicken.
In a large skillet, brown chicken in oil on all sides. Discard toothpicks. Place chicken in a greased shallow 3-qt. microwave-safe dish. Top with tomatoes and remaining feta cheese.
Cover and microwave on high for 18-20 minutes or until chicken juices run clear and cheese is melted. Serve over pasta if desired. Yield: 6 servings.

Loved the flavors. The chicken was very moist. I used fresh spinach baby leaves that I steamed for a few minutes until they had wilted. I also baked the chicken in the oven at 350 degrees until the chicken was cooked. I served it over brown rice I will definitely make this again.

Already made this a few times. Comes out great every time. Very tasty. I actually omit the flour b/c I wanted a more grilled chicken exterior. Still comes out fantastic.
