Stuff pockets with feta mixture, dividing evenly; generously season both sides of chicken with salt and pepper.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken, and cook until browned on both sides, 6 to 7 minutes per side.
  • Cover skillet, and continue cooking until chicken is opaque throughout and an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 160 degrees. about 5 minutes more. Remove chicken to a platter, and keep warm.
  • To the skillet, add chicken stock, and cook, stirring up brown bits with a wooden spoon until reduced slightly. Add lemon juice and butter. Reduce the heat to low, and swirl pan until butter is melted, and sauce is slightly thickened. Serve chicken drizzled with sauce.

MEDITERRANEAN CHICKEN WITH FETA CHEESE



Mediterranean Chicken With Feta Cheese image

This is a delicious and LIGHT! pasta dish as well as quite easy to make. If you love meat, then double the chicken... in the recipe I halved the original amount and like it much better that way. I added the kalamata olives to the original recipe and find it makes it a much better dish (but I loved it before the addition). I also use less feta than called for since I reserve a portion without for myself... I don't like feta. 30 minutes total prep and cooking... I work the whole time it's cooking. Enjoy!

1/3 cup kalamata olive, chopped
1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves, chopped (optional)

Steps:

  • Bring water to boil for pasta, then follow package instructions and check for doneness (since recipes always take me a little longer than the stated time, I don't usually start cooking the pasta at the very beginning!).

  • Cut chicken into bite-size pieces and add to pot.
  • Raise heat to med-high.

  • Add garlic, oregano, and basil and continue cooking chicken. Stir frequently.
  • When chicken is cooked through, stir in wine and cook 1 minute.
  • Add tomatoes with juice and continue cooking a few minutes until it becomes less juicy.
  • Stir in feta cheese and kalamata olives.
  • Garnish with parsley.
  • Serve over hot drained orzo -- sometimes I mix it all together.
