"Wonderful flavor! I never realized how flavorful feta cheese is. And it was a pretty easy recipe although I had trouble stuffing the cheese inside the chicken. Next time I may just put the cheese on top after cooking the chicken. " - DrCool

Chicken Breast stuffed with Feta Cheese and Oregano Preparation

1. Make stuffung b combine feta and oregano in a bowl.

2. Create pocket in the thick end of the breast, without going through the other side. Stuff cheese evenly into the pockets. Season generously with salt and pepper on both sides

3. Heat pan at medium low before adding oil, so that the oil heats right away but does not start smoking.

4. Turn heat up to medium high and sear chicken for 6 - 7 minutes per side. Do not stir or touch until nicely browned to ensure they don't stick to the pan. Turn heat down to medium heat, cover and cook for an addition 5 - 8 minutes until chicken is cooked throughout.

5. Remove chicken from pan. Add chicken stock to pan and losen brown bit from pan to disolve into liquid. Add juice of 1/2 a lemon to pan and simmer for a minute or two. Turn head to low or off an swirl butter into sauce until disolved.

Serve chicken sliced to show off stuffing, and topped with sauce.

Notes

When searing, sear the side that you will serve facing up first, as the first side to be seared always comes out looking better.

    Fantastic dish. I used red wine and vegetable broth in the reduction and it worked well.

    Wonderful flavor! I never realized how flavorful feta cheese is. And it was a pretty easy recipe although I had trouble stuffing the cheese inside the chicken. Next time I may just put the cheese on top after cooking the chicken.

    Everyone loved it! This is hard to achieve in my house. So tasty and easy. I even pre-stuffed some chicken and froze to try again. I hope it turns out as good.

    Definitely a great recipe, my family loved it, but be careful while searing because sometimes the cheese can come out.

    Loved it! Very easy and I'm not a natural cook. I added kalamata olives.

    I omitted the sauce because I didn't have any chicken stock and it was still delicious, especially dipped in Worcestershire sauce.

    Very simple to make but tasted beautiful. The chicken was juicy and the filling was fantastic. The sauce finished it off just right. Will definitely be making this again. Thank you for sharing.

    My husband ended up making this for us for dinner and I loved it. I am currently pregnant and have a hard time with dinner. Needless to say, I ate every bite and we will be making it again!
