Ingredients for Bacon Feta Stuffed Chicken Breasts

  • Cooked Bacon
  • 4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
  • Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast Halves
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
  • Dried Basil

How to Make Bacon Feta Stuffed Chicken Breasts

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 4 ounces of crumbled feta cheese and 4 slices of cooked and crumbled bacon. Mix gently.
  3. Butterfly each of the 4 chicken breasts by slicing them horizontally almost all the way through, creating a pocket.
  4. Divide the bacon and feta mixture evenly among the chicken breasts, filling each pocket.
  5. Secure each chicken breast with toothpicks.
  6. In an oven-safe skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Brown the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side.
  7. Add 1/2 cup of diced tomatoes to the skillet around the chicken breasts.
  8. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of fresh basil over the chicken and tomatoes.
  9. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  10. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before removing the toothpicks and serving.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
