Steps:
- Place the chicken breast halves into a plastic zipper bag. Shake the bottle of Italian dressing and pour into the bag. Seal the bag and shake to thoroughly coat the chicken with the dressing; refrigerate at least 8 hours or overnight.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking dish with olive oil.
- Remove the chicken breast halves and shake off excess marinade. Discard the leftover marinade. Place the chicken between two sheets of heavy plastic (resealable freezer bags work well) on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound the chicken with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a thickness of 1/2 inch.
- Mix together the artichoke hearts, olives, capers, and feta cheese in a bowl; spoon about 2 tablespoons of the feta mixture into the middle of each flattened chicken breast. Roll each chicken breast around the filling and secure with toothpicks. Place the rolled chicken breasts into the prepared baking dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken has browned and the juices run clear, about 30 minutes.

MARINATED FETA WITH HERBS AND PEPPERCORNS
The best recipes often make a good ingredient great through minimal effort. For this easy appetizer, start with good-quality feta, preferably in brine, which is creamier than the squeaky supermarket varieties. Many commercial fetas use only cow's milk and can taste somewhat one-note, so look for one that contains both sheep's and goat's milk, which provide the cheese's signature tang. Dice the feta, toss it with preserved lemon, peppercorns and chile, and refrigerate overnight. Spoon it onto crostini, or serve it alongside eggs, fish, salad, grilled or roasted vegetables or atop a bowl of pasta.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, stir together the olive oil, parsley, preserved lemon, chile, oregano and peppercorns.
- Cut the feta into 1/2-inch cubes and add them to the olive oil mixture. Gently fold together until feta is evenly coated. Transfer to a jar or lidded container and drizzle with more olive oil, if needed to immerse the feta. Refrigerate for at least 24 hours.
- Remove from refrigerator at least 30 minutes before serving to allow solidified olive oil to return to liquid form. Serve with crackers or crostini, or spoon on top of seared fish, grilled or roasted vegetables, pasta or salad.

Tips:
- Choose the right feta cheese: Use high-quality feta cheese made from sheep's milk or a blend of sheep's and goat's milk. Avoid feta made with cow's milk, as it will not have the same flavor or texture.
- Use a good quality olive oil: Extra virgin olive oil is the best choice for this recipe, as it has a fruity, peppery flavor that will complement the feta cheese.
- Don't over-marinate the feta cheese: Marinate the feta cheese for at least 2 hours, but no longer than 24 hours. Over-marinating the feta cheese will make it too soft and crumbly.
- Serve the feta cheese at room temperature: Bring the feta cheese to room temperature before serving. This will allow the flavors of the marinade to fully develop.
Conclusion:
Marinated feta cheese with capers and olives is a delicious and easy appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to enjoy feta cheese and can be served with crackers, bread, or vegetables. The marinade adds a flavorful and tangy twist to the feta cheese, and the capers and olives add a salty and briny flavor. This recipe is sure to be a hit with your friends and family.
