Feta-Stuffed Chicken

This is a tried and true in the Lucht house. It literally takes only 10 minutes to prep and I often have all the ingredients on hand.

Feta-Stuffed Chicken

Ingredients:

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/2 c breadcrumbs (make your own from sprouted bread!)
2 Tbs Butter
4 Tbs Feta Cheese (T.J.'s has Feta w/Med. Herbs which is extra good!)
4 tooth picks


Directions:
Pound the chicken breasts flat with a rolling pin or meat mallet. They should be about 1/4 of an inch thick. This keeps the meat nice and tender and allows it to cook quickly. Rinse the chicken of with water and then dredge each breast in breadcrumbs. Put one tablespoon of feta cheese onto each breast, and then fold over. Hold the stuffed breasts closed with a tooth pick. Melt the butter and poor it over the chicken breasts. Bake at 400 degrees for 25-30 minutes.

Serve over fresh spinach leaves with balsamic vinegar and olive oil dressing. You will love it!
