1. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to pan. Add finely chopped garlic and spinach; cook for 8 minutes, stirring frequently until done. Remove pan from heat; stir in feta cheese and mix well. Cool for 10 minutes
2. Preheat your oven to 400°F. Prepare chicken for stuffing. You can either, slice 2 thick chicken breasts in half and make 4, or beat 4 chicken breast until thin and wide.
