Steps:
- Preheat broiler.
- Cut bell pepper in half lengthwise and remove seeds and membranes. Place pepper halves on foil-lined baking sheet, skin side up. Broil 15 minutes or until blackened. Place in air-tight container for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, finely chop the 2 bell pepper halves.
- Mix together chopped bell pepper, garlic, cheese, olives, basil, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
- Cut a horizontal slit in thickest portions of each chicken breast to form a pocket (but do not cut all the way through). Spoon the pepper/feta/olive mixture into each pocket. Close the opening with a toothpick. Season chicken on both sides with salt and pepper, and sprinkle the top side with dried basil.
- Place chicken on broiler rack, and broil 6-8 minutes each side, or until done (it may take additional time, depending on thickness of the chicken breasts). Remove from oven, loosely wrap with foil and let stand 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:
- 1. Using a sharp knife, cut a pocket in each chicken breast by cutting horizontally through the thickest portion to, but not through, the opposite side. Set aside.
- 2. In a small bowl, combine feta, artichoke hearts, roasted peppers, green onion, and oregano. Spoon evenly into pockets in chicken breasts. If necessary, secure openings with wooden toothpicks. Sprinkle chicken with black pepper.
- 3. Coat an unheated large nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Preheat skillet over medium heat. Add chicken. Cook for 12 to 14 minutes or until no longer pink (170 degrees F), turning once.
Tips:
- To ensure even cooking, use a meat mallet to pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness.
- For a crispy, golden crust, pan-fry the chicken breasts in a skillet with a little olive oil over medium heat.
- To prevent the chicken from drying out, cook it until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- For a flavorful and moist filling, use a combination of spinach, feta cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, and herbs.
- Serve the stuffed chicken breasts with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
