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.

Provided by Lorac

Categories     Chicken

Time 45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (about 2 pounds)
2 tablespoons lemon juice, divided
2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano or 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano leaves, crushed
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1 (4 ounce) package crumbled feta cheese

Steps:

  • Arrange chicken in 13X9-inch baking dish.
  • Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the juice.
  • Sprinkle with oregano and pepper.
  • Top with cheese; drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon juice.
  • Bake at 350°F for 30 to 35 minutes or until cooked through.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken breasts. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts are the best choice for this recipe. Make sure they are of even thickness so that they cook evenly.
  • Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness. This will help them cook evenly and quickly.
  • Use a flavorful marinade. The marinade in this recipe is made with balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic, and herbs. It adds a lot of flavor to the chicken.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken breasts can dry out quickly, so it's important to cook them just until they are cooked through. This recipe calls for cooking the chicken breasts for 6-8 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

This balsamic chicken with feta and cream cheese is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and flavorful, and the feta and cream cheese add a creamy and tangy flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
