I absolutely love feta cheese so I am always experimenting with ways to incorporate it into meals. This is sheer perfection, the sauce is so good I could just eat it with a spoon!! Ingredients:
2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts |
2 -4 slices bacon, uncooked |
1/2 cup feta cheese |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
2 tablespoons lemon juice |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon black pepper |
1 teaspoon oregano |
2 tablespoons fresh garlic, minced |
3 tablespoons butter |
2 large garlic cloves, minced |
1/4 cup vidalia onion, sliced |
1 tablespoon flour |
1 cup chicken stock |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon black pepper |
1 1/2 teaspoons parsley |
1 1/2 cups sour cream |
1/4 cup feta cheese |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Coat your chicken in olive oil, then drizzle with lemon juice and season with salt, pepper, oregano and minced garlic on both sides.
3. Cut a pocket into each chicken breast and tuck inside 1-2 peices of bacon.
4. Place chicken breasts into a greased casserole dish or pan.
5. Top with a good sprinkling of feta cheese. (as much as you like, I used about 2 tbsp, any more would have been a major overflow when cooked)
6. Close pockets- I didn't have any toothpicks to secure them but they turned out okay without.
7. Cook uncovered for 30-35 minutes. (it's done when it's cooked through and browned a bit)
8. Melt butter in sauce pan, add onions and garlic and cook until softened.
9. Stir in flour until well combined, at least 2 minutes, then add chicken broth.
10. Bring to a simmer, stir constantly.
11. Add salt pepper, parsley, sour cream and cheese.
12. Reduce heat to low and simmer 20-30 minutes stirring frequently.
13. When it starts to get thicker, it's done. You want it a little looser than alfredo sauce would be.
14. Serve sauce liberally atop chicken.
