Chicken breasts are incredibly versatile, and I think feta cheese is so underrated. You can buy feta in so many different flavors...basil and tomato is our favorite.Vicki Smith, Okeechobee, Florida Ingredients:
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (4 ounces each) |
1/4 cup crumbled cooked bacon |
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
1 tablespoon canola oil |
2 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) diced tomatoes |
1 tablespoon dried basil |
Directions:
1. Carefully cut a slit in the deepest part of each chicken breast. Fill with bacon and cheese; secure with toothpicks. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, brown chicken in oil.
2. Drain one can of tomatoes; add to skillet. Stir in the remaining tomatoes; sprinkle with basil. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes longer or until a meat thermometer inserted in the chicken breast reads 170° and the tomato mixture is thickened. Discard toothpicks. Yield: 4 servings.
