Extra Feta Greek Stuffed Chicken Breast
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes
- 1/4 cup chopped Kalamata olives
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup crumbled feta cheese, 1/2 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes, 1/4 cup chopped Kalamata olives, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Using a sharp knife, cut a pocket into the side of each chicken breast. Be careful not to cut all the way through.
- Stuff each chicken breast with the feta cheese mixture, dividing it evenly among the 4 breasts. Use toothpicks to secure the openings if necessary.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the stuffed chicken breasts and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
- Remove the toothpicks and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your extra feta Greek stuffed chicken breast!
The history of Greek Stuffed Chicken Breast with extra feta cheese dates back to ancient Greece, where the combination of tender chicken and rich, tangy feta cheese was celebrated. This dish has been perfected over centuries, with Greek chefs adding their own unique twists to the recipe. The region of Crete is particularly renowned for its flavorful feta cheese, which adds a delightful creaminess to the dish. Today, the best version of this dish can be found in traditional Greek tavernas, where skilled chefs expertly prepare the chicken and feta filling. The key to this dish is the quality of the feta cheese and the perfect balance of flavors. For a delicious alternative, consider grilling the stuffed chicken breast for a smoky, charred flavor that complements the creamy feta.
