A stuffed chicken breast where the sweetness of the sun-dried tomatoes harmonizes with the saltiness of the Feta cheese. Ingredients:
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, pounded thin |
1 medium red bell pepper, diced |
6 garlic cloves, minced |
5 large sun-dried tomatoes, diced |
1 teaspoon thyme |
8 ounces feta cheese, crumbled finely |
1/2 cup breadcrumbs (i use italian style) |
olive oil |
salt |
pepper |
toothpick (or butcher string) |
green onion, chopped (for garnish) |
Directions:
1. Sauté garlic and red bell pepper, in Olive Oil, for about 3 minutes (just enough to combine the flavors).
2. Put aside to cool.
3. In a bowl, combine Feta cheese, breadcrumbs, thyme, sun-dried tomatoes, and garlic and red pepper mixture.
4. Toss until well mixed (this will be your stuffing ).
5. Lay a flattened piece of chicken breast on a cutting board or your counter.
6. Put a 1/4 of the above mixture on the flattened chicken breast like you would be making a burrito and roll as tight as you can get it.
7. Secure it with a toothpick or butcher string.
8. Place chicken breast roll on a baking sheet (I spray it with Pam so it doesn't stick), brush with olive oil (this gives it a nice golden brown texture), and season with salt and pepper.
9. Preheat oven to 350°F.
10. Cook for about 35 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 180°F.
11. I guess you could try it on a grill, but I never attempted it yet!
12. Garnish with chopped green onion and serve hot.
