Ingredients:

Serving

6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/4 lb feta cheese, crumbled ( fat-free is ok)
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp dried oregano
2 tbsp olive oil
1 -1 1/2 cup chicken stock ( start with the smaller amount so it's not too runny)
2 cups loosely packed torn fresh spinach leaves (i use more like 6 cups)
1 ripe tomato, chopped
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper

Directions:

(Adjust/add/change the seasonings to suit your taste.).
In a small bowl, combine cheese, lemon juice, and oregano. Set aside.
With a meat mallet, pound each chicken breast to 1/2 thickness. Spread cheese mixture on each chicken breast, leaving 1/2 border, then fold each breast in half, securing with toothpicks. (You could also roll these, if you prefer.) Season with salt and pepper.
In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Brown chicken breasts on each side, then pour stock over them. Add spinach and tomato to skillet and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until chicken is done. Discard toothpicks before serving.
Note: If sauce is too runny, whisk a little flour or cornstarch in a bowl with some water till smooth; add this to the sauce and heat till it reaches the desired consistency.
