Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
• 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a small bowl, combine the feta cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, basil, parsley, garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
3. Using a sharp knife, make a horizontal slit in the thickest part of each chicken breast to create a pocket. Be careful not to cut all the way through.
4. Stuff each chicken breast with an equal amount of the feta and sun-dried tomato mixture. Secure the openings with toothpicks, if desired.
5. Season the chicken breasts with additional salt and pepper, if desired.
6. Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil and swirl to coat the pan.
7. Place the stuffed chicken breasts in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until browned.
8. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
9. Remove the toothpicks before serving. Serve the stuffed chicken breasts hot, garnished with fresh basil or parsley, if desired.
