CHICKEN WITH FETA CHEESE



Chicken with Feta Cheese image

Feta cheese has a rich, tangy taste. Besides adding flavor, stuffing the chicken breasts with feta helps keep them moist during cooking.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Chicken     Chicken Breast Recipes

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 8

3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (about 3 ounces)
1 teaspoon dried oregano
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (6 to 8 ounces each)
Coarse salt and ground pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup homemade or low-sodium store-bought chicken stock
Juice of 1/2 lemon
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine feta and oregano. Make a pocket in chicken breasts: Holding chicken flat with palm of one hand, make an incision in thicker side of each breast with a paring knife. Carefully pivot the knife to create a deep pocket, keeping the other side of the chicken breast intact. 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.

SHEET-PAN CHICKEN WITH ZUCCHINI AND BASIL



Sheet-Pan Chicken With Zucchini and Basil image

In this simple weeknight recipe, chicken thighs and drumsticks are seasoned with garlic, herbs and red-pepper flakes, and roasted alongside tender chunks of zucchini that caramelize in the oven's heat. Torn basil leaves and a squeeze of lemon give the dish sharp and tangy notes just before serving, while the optional coriander seeds tossed into the pan lend depth. This recipe comfortably serves two to three, but if you're feeding more people, feel free to double the ingredients. Divide the ingredients between two sheet-pans, and bear in mind that you might need to add a few minutes to the cooking time. Add some crusty bread or rice to soak up the savory juices, and you've got a summery meal that's fresh, full of flavor and an absolute snap to make.

Time 40m

Yield 2 to 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 3/4 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs and drumsticks
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/4 pounds zucchini, sliced into 1-inch chunks (about 5 cups)
2 fat garlic cloves, finely grated, passed through a press or minced
2 teaspoons dried mint or oregano
1 teaspoon coriander seeds, cracked with a mortar and pestle or the flat side of a chef's knife (optional)
1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes, plus more for serving
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more as needed
Lemon wedges, for serving
1/2 cup torn fresh basil leaves, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. Pat chicken dry with paper towels, and season all over with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Place zucchini on a rimmed sheet pan, and season with a little more salt and pepper.
  • In a small bowl, combine garlic, mint or oregano, coriander (if using) and red-pepper flakes. Whisk in oil. Add chicken to the pan with the zucchini pieces and pour garlic mixture over all, tossing until well coated. Spread chicken and zucchini in a single layer, and roast until chicken is cooked through and zucchini is browned and caramelized, 30 to 40 minutes. You don't need to turn anything.
  • Once the pan is out of the oven, squeeze a lemon wedge over everything. Garnish with basil and serve with more lemon wedges and red-pepper flakes on the side.
