Chicken Breasts Stuffed with Feta

2 Comments

Stuffing chicken breasts is a great way to moisten the meat and bring a lot of flavor to it. This delicious recipe has a light refreshing flavor from the feta, mint and lemon juice. This would make a great healthy dinner with a salad.

Ingredients

2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (4 halves)
1 ounce feta cheese, thinly sliced
1 cup fresh mint leaves, stemmed and washed
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons olive oil
salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

Wash and dry chicken and trim off any fat. Cut each breast in half. Lay one of the halves at the edge of a cutting board. Cut a horizontal pocket in the breast, taking care not to pierce the top, bottom or far side. Do this with all 4 pieces.
Place 2-3 slices of feta and 6-8 mint leaves in each pocket. Pin shut with lightly oiled tooth picks. Place them in a glass or ceramic baking dish.
Finely chop the remaining mint and sprinkle it over the chicken with the lemon juice, olive oil and salt and pepper. Marinate the chicken in this mixture for 20 minutes, turning once or twice.
Preheat grill or broiler to high. Season with salt and pepper. Grill or broil until cooked, 2-3 minutes per side. Remove toothpicks and serve at once.

I'm pretty sure the prep / cook times are reversed in the summary at the top of the recipe.

Will someone please explain to me how four breast halves serves six people? That's 2/3 of a piece for each person, with two of those people getting their portion as two 1/3 pieces! What a nightmare for presentation puposes.
