Cheese Stuffed Chicken

By Linda Larsen, About.com

You can substitute blue cheese for the feta cheese if you'd like. You could also use any strong flavored cheese, such as sharp cheddar.

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 3 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/2 tsp. dried oregano leaves
  • 2 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 2 (14 oz.) cans diced tomatoes with roasted garlic, undrained
  • 1/4 cup sliced black olives
  • 1 Tbsp. cornstarch

Preparation:

Cut a 3" slit in the thick side of each chicken breast to form a pocket, being careful to not cut completely through the flesh. Combine cheese, parsley, oregano and oil and mix gently. Spoon 1/4 of filling into each pocket. Place chicken in ungreased 2 quart baking dish.

In another small bowl, mix tomatoes, olives and cornstarch and pour over chicken. Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes until chicken is thoroughly cooked. Serve with spaghetti, if you like. Serves 4
