Ingredients

• 4 pieces chicken breasts
• 3 ounces feta cheese
• 1.5 ounces sun-dried tomatoes
• 2 pieces garlic cloves
• 0.25 cups fresh basil leaves
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 8 pieces toothpicks
• 0.5 teaspoons paprika

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Use a sharp knife to cut a pocket into the side of each chicken breast. Be careful not to cut all the way through.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine the feta cheese, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, minced garlic, and chopped fresh basil leaves. Mix well to create the stuffing.

Step 4

Stuff each chicken breast with an equal amount of the feta mixture, gently pressing the filling into the pocket. Secure the opening with 1-2 toothpicks to ensure the stuffing stays in place during cooking.

Step 5

Brush each stuffed chicken breast with olive oil, then season both sides with salt, black pepper, and paprika.

Step 6

Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add a little olive oil to the pan and sear the stuffed chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown.

Step 7

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).

Step 8

Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before removing the toothpicks.

Step 9

Serve hot with your choice of side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad.
