Steps:
- Flatten chicken breasts to 1/4 inch thickness. Place a tablespoon of crumbled feta cheese on each chicken breast; roll up and secure with toothpicks. Coat with the seasoned bread crumbs.
- Place seam side down in a greased 13x9x2 inch baking pan. Sprinkle with the remaining feta cheese.
- Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes or until the chicken juices run clear. Combine the balsamic vinegar and olive oil, and drizzle over the chicken. Discard the toothpicks. Garnish with sliced plum tomatoes and fresh basil.
Tips:
- To ensure the chicken breasts are cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. It should read 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the breast.
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check if the chicken is cooked by cutting into the thickest part of the breast. The juices should run clear, with no pink.
- To make the basil and feta stuffing, finely chop the basil and parsley. Crumble the feta cheese and mix it with the basil, parsley, and breadcrumbs. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- To stuff the chicken breasts, make a pocket in each breast by carefully slicing horizontally into the thickest part of the breast. Be careful not to cut all the way through.
- Spoon the basil and feta stuffing into the pockets of the chicken breasts. Secure the stuffing inside by wrapping a piece of kitchen twine around each breast.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) before baking the chicken breasts. This will help to ensure that the chicken cooks evenly.
- Bake the chicken breasts for 25-30 minutes, or until they are cooked through. Let the chicken breasts rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Conclusion:
Basil and feta stuffed chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of basil, feta, and chicken is flavorful and satisfying, and the crispy breadcrumb coating adds a nice textural contrast. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
