Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Place the chicken breasts on a clean cutting board and create a pocket in each breast by cutting a slit in the side.
Generously fill each chicken breast pocket with the spinach and feta mixture.
Drizzle the olive oil over the st￭ chicken breasts and season with additional salt and pepper if desired.
Place the st￭ chicken breasts in a baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
In the last 5 minutes of baking, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the chicken.
Once done, remove the chicken from the oven, let it rest for a few minutes, then garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
