Time 1h

Yield 5-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 -6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 cup feta cheese
1/2 a diced tomato
2 tablespoons diced onions
2 garlic cloves
1/2 jalapeno pepper (optional)
1 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon basil
salt and pepper
3/4 cup pesto sauce

Steps:

  • Pre-heat oven to 350.
  • In a bowl, combine feta, tomato, onion, garlic, jalapeno, oregano, basil salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Using a sharp knife, cut into the fatest part of each breast and create a pocket. Be careful not to cut straight through.
  • Put the pesto in a large ziplock bag and place the chicken in with it. Mix it around until the chicken is thoroughly coated.
  • Place the coated chicken in a greased glass pan.
  • Stuff the feta mix into the pockets of each chicken breast.
  • Arrange the chicken so the openings of the pockets are on an angle (facing upward) so once they start baking the mix doesn't ooze out.
  • Cook for 45 minutes.
