Greek-Style Spinach and Feta Chicken Recipe - Home Chef (2)

Zeus and Hera, those oldie-but-goodie Greek gods, never seemed to have that great of a marriage, what with all his cheating and… well, all his cheating. That's not to say every Greek marriage is doomed: This one, of salty briny feta and fresh spinach, is a match made in the Elysian Fields. It enrobes the chicken with a flavor that's rich, cheesy, Greek perfection; every bite will make you wish the gods would grant you more and more. Tip: Make quick work of mincing garlic by smashing the whole clove with the side of your chef's knife. Then rock the knife back and forth, keeping the tip steady by resting your other hand over the top.

Before You Cook

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |

  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |

  • If using pork chops or sirloin steak, follow same instructions as chicken in Steps 1, 3, and 4, cooking until browned, 2-3 minutes per side, adding topping and pastry, then roasting until pork reaches minimum internal temperature, 7-9 minutes. Rest, 3 minutes.

  • If using salmon pat dry and season flesh side with a pinch of salt and pepper. Follow same instructions as chicken in Steps 3 and 4, cooking, skin side up, until browned on one side, 2-4 minutes, then adding topping and pastry to seared side and roasting until salmon reaches minimum internal temperature, 7-9 minutes.
