Stuffed with feta cheese, cream cheese and herbs, this chicken is so flavorful. Makes a lovely presentation too. This can be served with rice and the pan juices can be drizzled over the rice for additional flavor. This recipe was given to me by a friend at work who said she had also served this in a spaghetti sauce over noodles or spaghetti. Ingredients:
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts |
3 ounces cream cheese, softened |
3 ounces feta cheese, crumbled |
1/4-1/2 teaspoon dried basil (to taste) |
1/4-1/2 teaspoon dried oregano (to taste) |
salt and pepper (to taste) |
garlic powder (to taste) |
4 slices bacon |
4 green onion tops |
4 tablespoons butter, melted |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 275 degrees.
2. Wash and pound to flatten each chicken breast.
3. Lay the breasts on waxed paper and spread 1/4 of the cream cheese on each breast.
4. Top the cream cheese with the feta divided equally.
5. Combine the basil, oregano, salt, pepper and garlic powder in a small bowl.
6. Sprinkle 1/4 of the spices/herbs on each breast.
7. Roll up each chicken breast and wrap with a piece of bacon and one green onion top (secure with toothpicks if necessary).
8. Place the breasts in a greased casserole dish and drizzle with the melted butter.
9. Cover and bake 1 1/2 hours.
10. Remove the cover and increase the oven temperature to 350 degrees.
11. Bake an additional 15-20 minutes or until the bacon is browned.
