Ingredients
4 chicken breasts, skinless boneless, thawed1/3c. feta1 med. orange2T dried sweetened cranberries or raisins1/3c. bread crumbs1/2t basil, dried2T grated parmesan
Directions
Load feta into food processor. Use the grater to zest the outermost layer of the orange into the food processor. Cut the orange in half and squeeze all of the juice of JUST ONE HALF into the food processor. Add your dried fruit. Cap it and pulse until smooth.

Using a small pointed knife, create a pouch in each chicken breast. You may enter at the thickest, roundest point and open the inside, or simply slit straight down one side. Spoon the feta mixture into each chicken.

Combine bread crumbs, basil, and parmesan. Coat each chicken breast. (I bake two, freeze two.)

Bake at 350F for 40min.

    We made this the other day, it wasn't what I imagined but it was alright. Might make it differently next time. - 9/9/09

    This is a favorite around our house. Even my husband (who rarely cooks supper) made it one night for his visiting family. Thanks for a great recipe!! - 1/11/09

    This was really good. Even hubby enjoyed it, which is saying something because he hates sweet sauces and such with his meat. - 7/1/08

    I added 1/2 bag of baby spinach to the cheese mixture. Also next time I will pound the chicken thin, stuff with cheese mixture and roll up then secure with a toothpick. Creating the pocket was time consuming for me. VERY GOOD and make the house smell wonderful. - 6/7/08

    My husband loved this, I subsituted goat cheese for the feta and he raved about it. - 3/11/08

    The orange flavor was a little overpowering, but the chicken was wonderfully moist. Will try without the orange zest and juice next time. - 3/11/08

    I definitely want to make this. Suggestion: letting us know the weight of the breasts to be sure that we are accurate in tracking the nutritional value. Thanks! - 3/1/08
