CHICKEN WITH FETA CHEESE



Chicken with Feta Cheese image

Feta cheese has a rich, tangy taste. Besides adding flavor, stuffing the chicken breasts with feta helps keep them moist during cooking.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Chicken     Chicken Breast Recipes

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.

CHICKEN BREASTS WITH FETA AND FIGS



Chicken Breasts With Feta and Figs image

Cooked figs go beautifully with meat, especially a griddled or pan-cooked chicken breast. I always seem to circle back to feta when I'm working with figs in a savory dish. I love the flavor of the earthy, salty cheese against the subtle, sweet fruit.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 5- to 6-ounce boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Salt and pepper
2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
2 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 ounces feta, crumbled (about 1/2 cup)
1 1/4 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
1/2 cup red wine
8 fresh figs, cut in small dice
1 tablespoon honey
Rosemary sprigs for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • One at a time, place each chicken breast between pieces of plastic wrap or parchment and lightly pound with a mallet until it is 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick. Chicken breasts should be of uniform thickness.
  • Place chicken breasts in a bowl, season with salt and pepper and toss with rosemary, garlic and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Cover bowl and refrigerate for 30 minutes to an hour.
  • Place oven on lowest setting, around 200 degrees. Cook the chicken: Heat a large cast-iron skillet or grill pan over high heat for 5 minutes. Add remaining olive oil to pan and reduce heat to medium-high. Turn over chicken breasts in marinade to coat them, then add them to the pan, rounded side down. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes on one side, until cooked halfway through.
  • Turn chicken breasts over and carefully arrange feta on top, dividing it equally among the 4 breasts. Sprinkle about 1/4 teaspoon thyme leaves over feta on each breast. Cook 4 to 5 minutes, until breasts are cooked through. Feta will warm but will not melt. Transfer to a baking sheet and keep in warm oven while you cook the figs.
  • Add wine to pan and scrape with a wooden spoon to deglaze the bottom. Boil wine until it has reduced by half, then add figs, honey and remaining thyme. Cook, stirring, until figs break down and begin to look jammy, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Serve chicken breasts with fig compote on side and garnish with rosemary sprigs.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Greek Appetizers

Time 1h5m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups diced fresh tomatoes with juices
½ cup packed grated zucchini
⅓ cup sliced green onions
2 teaspoons kosher salt, or to taste
1 teaspoon white sugar
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon dried oregano
1 pinch cayenne pepper
¼ cup chopped fresh Italian parsley
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
3 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
¾ cup all-purpose flour, or more as needed
¾ teaspoon baking powder
vegetable oil for frying

Steps:

  • Stir together tomatoes, zucchini, green onions, kosher salt, sugar, black pepper, oregano, and cayenne in a bowl to combine.
  • Let sit for 15 minutes for the sugar and salt to draw out liquids from the vegetables.
  • Stir the tomato mixture; add parsley, mint, and basil. Crumble in feta cheese. Add flour and baking powder; mix with a spoon until combined. Batter should be relatively loose but will hold its shape on a spoon. If too loose, add more flour; if too dry, add some water until desired consistency is reached.
  • Wrap the bowl in plastic wrap and let chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  • Heat 1 inch of vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), or use a deep fryer.
  • Place heaping tablespoonfuls of batter in the hot oil; reduce heat to medium. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Flip once more and fry for an additional 30 seconds, if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any mishaps while you're cooking.
  • Choose ripe tomatoes: The riper the tomatoes, the sweeter and more flavorful they will be. Look for tomatoes that are deep red in color and free of any blemishes.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're browning the chicken breasts, make sure to give them enough space in the pan so that they can cook evenly. If you overcrowd the pan, the chicken will steam instead of brown.
  • Use a meat thermometer: To ensure that the chicken breasts are cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The chicken should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest: Once the chicken breasts are cooked, let them rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

This recipe for Chicken Breasts with Feta and Tomato is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, and the feta and tomato add a tangy and refreshing flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
