Chicken stuffed with feta and oregano


  • 3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (about 3 ounces)
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (6 to 8 ounces each)
  • Coarse salt and ground pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter


  1. Directions:

  2. In a small bowl, combine feta and oregano. Make a pocket in chicken breasts:  make an incision in thicker side of each breast with a paring knife. Stuff pockets with feta mixture, dividing evenly; generously season both sides of chicken with salt and pepper.


  3. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken, and cook until browned on both sides, 6 to 7 minutes per side.


  4. Cover skillet, and continue cooking until isn't pink.


  5. Add butter to the skillet stirring up brown bits with a wooden spoon until reduced slightly. Reduce the heat to low, and swirl pan until butter is melted, and sauce is slightly thickened. Serve chicken drizzled with sauce.
