Ingredients
Scale
- 4 Chicken Breasts
- 1 cup Feta Cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Herbs (Oregano and Thyme)
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
Instructions
- Prep the chicken by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Combine the crumbled feta cheese, chopped fresh herbs, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
- Place each chicken breast on a clean surface and create a pocket in the thickest part of the breast.
- Secure the openings of the chicken with toothpicks.
- Heat olive oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat and sear the stuffed chicken breasts for about 4-5 minutes on each side.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Notes
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes post-bake to retain juices. Consider variations with sun-dried tomatoes or olives for a Mediterranean twist.
