Feta Chicken

(7)
  • Number of Servings: 6
Ingredients
6 skinless boneless chicken breasts6 oz tomato basil feta cheese crumbled1/4 cup italian style bread crumbsoptional - not included in nutrition info1 egg and a splash of milk to dip chicken in.
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 9 x 13 baking dish with Pam (or other spray).
Spread half the bread crumbs on the bottom of the baking dish.
Flatten each chicken breast between two sheets of wax paper with a rolling pin or mallet. Place 1 oz of feta cheese in each chicken breast and fold in half.
Place on baking dish and spray with Pam, spread the rest of the bread crumbs on top of the chicken. Spray Pam over the coated chicken, then place in the oven. Cook for at least 25 -30 minutes, checking to make sure chicken is cooked through.

I dipped each chicken breast in the egg mixture to help the breading stay better, but I understand it works equally well with just using the spray.

    It was good but didn't care for the bread crumbs. Will do again, but will just season the outside and do on the BBQ - 4/13/08

    This was delicious, I had it for dinner tonight. It was a nice change to my plain chicken that I usually have everyday. I'll use this recipe the next time I have company for dinner. - 3/2/08

    I wasn't sure what to expect as this recipe was so easy to make, but it was wonderful! My boyfriend and I had it for dinner today but varied it by using regular feta and layering spinach, it was delicious! - 2/27/08

    My husband and I absolutely loved this!!! It's easy to make, very tasty and is low in calories. I paired it with the Asparagus Au Gratin on Sparkrecipes and my husband said it was like a meal he'd buy in a restaurant. - 1/30/08

    Very good, and very filling. Hard to believe 1 serving is only 193 calories. Yum! - 1/20/08

    OK, so I didn't follow the recipe exactly--I used plain feta cheese. I did not bother with milk/egg. It was easy, juicy, and very tasty! Tip: Using a roller wasn't working for me, so I opted for a meat tenderizer and pounded on the skin-ish side of the chicken (the other side seemed to shread). - 1/13/08
