Tomato And Feta Stuffed Chicken
These chicken breasts are stuffed with crumbly feta cheese, cherry tomatoes, and fresh basil. I also added a touch of cream cheese to make sure the filling was extra-creamy.

Servings: 2 stuffed chicken breasts
Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- ¼ cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 tbsp cream cheese, softened
- 2 tsp fresh basil, chopped
- 6 cherry tomatoes, diced
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tsp olive oil
- ¼ cup panko bread crumbs, Italian style
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a small bowl, combine the feta cheese, cream cheese, and basil. Gently stir in the tomatoes (carefully not to over-stir or your filling will turn pink). Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside.
- Butterfly the chicken breasts by slicing horizontally without cutting completely through. Open the chicken breasts and flatten with a rolling pin or meat mallet until the chicken breast is thin and evenly thick.
- Place about half of the feta cheese mixture onto each chicken breast. Roll up the chicken breasts and secure the ends with toothpicks to keep the filling from oozing out. Place the chicken breasts into a baking dish sprayed with cooking spray. Brush each chicken breast with olive oil, then sprinkle the panko bread crumbs over the chicken breasts.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 to 35 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through. Serve immediately.
