Feta Chicken

Okay, so I know that I just posted a feta chicken recipe, BUT we LOVE feta and this is another (and in my hubby's opinion) EVEN BETTER recipe for feta and chicken. Enjoy!

Ingredients

• 6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
• 6 ounces tomato basil feta cheese, crumbled
• 1/4 cup Italian-style dry bread crumbs, divided

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
2. Place chicken breasts between 2 pieces of waxed paper. Gently pound chicken with flat side of meat mallet or rolling pin until about 1/4 inch thick; remove wax paper. Place 1 ounce of feta cheese in the center of each chicken breast, and fold in half.
3. Spread 2 tablespoons bread crumbs in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Arrange chicken in the dish, and top with remaining bread crumbs.
4. Bake 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear.

Notes: I didn't have tomato basil feta. Instead, I sprinkled dried basil and red pepper flakes on the feta before folding over. You can also use chopped fresh basil and sun-dried tomatoes. I also used more than 1/4 bread crumbs and sprinkled the crumbs on both sides of the chicken before adding the feta. To secure the folded chicken I used a few toothpicks on each piece. So, so, so yummy and easy!!!
