How to Make Mediterranean Stuffed Boneless Chicken Thighs

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon curry powder, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), and 2 cloves minced garlic.
  2. Pour the oil and spice mixture into a glass or ceramic baking dish, ensuring the bottom is evenly coated.
  3. Rinse 6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs under cold water and gently flatten each one using a meat mallet or the back of a heavy pan.
  4. Dip both sides of each chicken thigh into the oil and spice mixture, ensuring they are well coated. Arrange them in a single layer in the prepared baking dish.
  5. In a small non-stick skillet, lightly toast 1/4 cup pine nuts over medium heat for 1-2 minutes, or until lightly golden. Let cool slightly, then finely chop.
  6. In a medium bowl, combine the toasted pine nuts, 2 cups packed fresh spinach (chopped), 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese, 1/2 cup chopped Kalamata olives (pitted), and 1/2 cup chopped mushrooms.
  7. Spoon a generous amount of the stuffing mixture onto the center of each flattened chicken thigh.
  8. Carefully roll up each chicken thigh around the stuffing, tucking in the ends to secure.
  9. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  10. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  11. Serve immediately with your favorite rice and a side salad or roasted vegetables.
