¼ tsp black pepper
1 Tbsp avocado oil
1 medium-sized onion, finely chopped

6 ounces feta cheese
¼ tsp sea salt, to taste

  • Scoop the stuffing into each chicken breast, filling them up to your heart's desire.
  • If you have them, use toothpicks to secure the filling into the chicken breasts (no worries if you don't have them).

  • Serve with your choice of sides and enjoy!
