Categories     Stuffed Chicken Breasts

Time 35m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 9

10 (6 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
¼ cup seasoned bread crumbs
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 (8 ounce) package Cheese, feta
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 cloves garlic, chopped
¼ cup crumbled feta cheese, or to taste

Steps:

  • Use a sharp knife to slice a pocket in the thickest part of each chicken breast.
  • Mix bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl.
  • Cut feta block into 10 slices crosswise, then cut in half again lengthwise. Roll each piece of feta in the bread crumb mixture to coat. Stuff 2 pieces coated feta into the pocket of each chicken breast. Season breasts with salt and pepper.
  • Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Working in batches to avoid overcrowding, add chicken and cook until cheese is melted and chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 3 to 4 minutes per side.
