Provided by Lyuba Brooke

Categories     dinner     Main Course

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 boneless (skinless chicken breasts)
3 oz feta cheese
2/3 cup diced sun dried tomatoes
1 Tbsp fresh Italian parsley (minced)
1 tsp olive oil
Salt (fresh cracked pepper)
3 Tbsp pesto
2 Tbsp vegetable oil (for cooking)

Steps:

  • Lay chicken breast flat on the cutting board. Carefully, slide the knife (hold it sideways with blade facing away from you) at the top (wider part) of the chicken breast, in the center, and cut a pocket in the middle. DO NOT slice all the way through the bottom or the sides of the chicken breast. Your ultimate goal is to create a pocket inside the breast with opening at the top. Repeat with all three breasts.
  • In a small bowl, mix minced sun dried tomatoes, Feta cheese, oil, parsley, salt and pepper. Mix well until evenly combined.
  • Stuff each chicken breast with equal amount of tomato/feta mixture, making sure it is evenly distributed through the pocket. Lightly press each chicken breast.
  • Rub each chicken with about a tablespoon of pesto.
  • Preheat a large cooking pan on medium heat and add vegetable oil. Place stuffed chicken breasts in the pan.
  • Cook over medium/ medium-low heat until done making sure that both sides get nice and golden (lots of flavor comes from the chicken cooked to golden brown). This could take 20-30 minutes, depending on thickness of the chicken.

Provided by Guy Fieri

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
4 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped
4 tablespoons kalamata olives, chopped
2 cups chicken stock
1 (10-ounce) box couscous
Salt and pepper
1/2 pound feta cheese, crumbled
4 (6-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup white wine
1/2 lemon, juiced
6 tablespoons julienned sun-dried tomatoes
4 tablespoons roughly chopped kalamata olives
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 pound feta cheese, crumbled, for garnish

Steps:

  • For the couscous: In saucepan over medium heat add olive oil, when hot, add the garlic and red pepper flakes. Add the sun-dried tomatoes and saute a few minutes more. Add olives and chicken stock and bring to a boil. Add the box of couscous, turn off heat and let stand covered for 5 minutes. Fluff with fork, and season with salt and pepper. Spread 2 cups on large plate, add in 1/2 pound feta, and let cool. Keep the remaining hot to serve with chicken. (Put in covered casserole and reheat in oven last 10 minutes with chicken.)
  • For the chicken: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Trim chicken with a boning knife, if needed. Start at top of breast and carefully make a lengthwise cut from top to bottom and making a pocket about 2 inches, making sure not to pierce the other side of the breast. When couscous is cool enough to handle, carefully spoon couscous mixture into pocket. Even out the stuffing by gently moving it around with your hands. Wipe off any excess couscous from outside of breasts and season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat olive oil and butter in saute pan and brown off both sides of chicken. Place chicken on baking sheet and place in oven for 20 minutes.
  • While chicken is baking, make the sauce.
  • For the sauce: In saute pan that you cooked chicken breasts in, heat and add garlic. Deglaze with white wine and add lemon juice. Reduce by one third. Add in sun-dried tomatoes, let reduce for 2 to 3 minutes, add the olives, turn off heat, add the butter and stir to combine.
  • To serve, place couscous from oven on plate, cut chicken breast in half, top with sauce, crumble remaining feta cheese over.

CHICKEN BREAST STUFFED WITH FETA CHEESE, SUN-DRIED TOMATO



Chicken Breast Stuffed With Feta Cheese, Sun-Dried Tomato image

A stuffed chicken breast where the sweetness of the sun-dried tomatoes harmonizes with the saltiness of the Feta cheese.

Provided by Terrence Maguire

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 55m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, pounded thin
1 medium red bell pepper, diced
6 garlic cloves, minced
5 large sun-dried tomatoes, diced
1 teaspoon thyme
8 ounces feta cheese, crumbled finely
1/2 cup breadcrumbs (I use Italian style)
olive oil
salt
pepper
toothpick (or Butcher String)
green onion, chopped (for garnish)

Steps:

  • Sauté garlic and red bell pepper, in Olive Oil, for about 3 minutes (just enough to"combine" the flavors).
  • Put aside to cool.
  • In a bowl, combine Feta cheese, breadcrumbs, thyme, sun-dried tomatoes, and garlic and red pepper mixture.
  • Toss until well mixed (this will be your "stuffing").
  • Lay a flattened piece of chicken breast on a cutting board or your counter.
  • Put a 1/4 of the above mixture on the flattened chicken breast like you would be making a burrito and roll as tight as you can get it.
  • Secure it with a toothpick or butcher string.
  • Place chicken breast "roll" on a baking sheet (I spray it with Pam so it doesn't stick), brush with olive oil (this gives it a nice golden brown texture), and season with salt and pepper.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Cook for about 35 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 180°F.
  • I guess you could try it on a grill, but I never attempted it yet!
  • Garnish with chopped green onion and serve hot.

Tips:

  • If you don't have sun-dried tomatoes, you can substitute them with chopped fresh tomatoes or roasted red peppers.
  • For a more flavorful stuffing, try using a combination of feta cheese, cream cheese, and herbs like basil or oregano.

  • Serve the stuffed chicken breasts with a simple side salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
