Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by prepping all your ingredients. Chop one onion and mince 3-4 cloves of fresh garlic. Rinse and dry about four cups of fresh spinach.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat for about 2 minutes.
  3. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant for about 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in the spinach and continue sautéing for an additional 2-3 minutes until it wilts.
  5. Add in 1 can of diced tomatoes, allowing it to heat through for another 3 minutes.
  6. Carefully add the chicken pieces into the skillet, ensuring each piece is coated with the vegetable mixture.
  7. Cook the mixture for about 5 minutes, letting the chicken absorb the flavors.
  8. Sprinkle a teaspoon of dried oregano, along with salt and black pepper to taste over the mixture.
  9. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and pour the mixture into a greased casserole dish.
  10. Top with 1 cup of crumbled feta cheese, ensuring the cheese covers the mixture.
  11. Bake for approximately 35 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and the top is bubbly and golden.
  12. Let it rest for a few minutes, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve warm.
