Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (about 3 ounces) 1 teaspoon dried oregano 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (6 to 8 ounces each) Coarse salt and ground pepper 2 tablespoons olive oil 1/2 cup homemade or low-sodium store-bought chicken stock Juice of 1/2 lemon 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Directions

In a small bowl, combine feta and oregano. Make a pocket in chicken breasts: Holding chicken flat with palm of one hand, make an incision in thicker side of each breast with a paring knife. Carefully pivot the knife to create a deep pocket, keeping the other side of the chicken breast intact. Stuff pockets with feta mixture, dividing evenly; generously season both sides of chicken with salt and pepper.

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.

Cover skillet, and continue cooking until chicken is opaque throughout and an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 160 degrees. about 5 minutes more. Remove chicken to a platter, and keep warm.

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

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 4 stars       08/09/2013   I liked this recipe for its simplicity!! So good :)  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       02/02/2012   I made this last night on a whim...it was very very good! I served it with steamed vegetables on the side....it was a big hit and I will most certainly make this again and again.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       02/03/2011   This dish was quick and easy. My family enjoyed it!

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       08/11/2009   I think goat cheese would be a very good substitute.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       02/17/2009   Easy and delicious. Served with a caesar salad to sync it up with the lemon from the sauce.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       01/11/2009   The is amazingly easy to make. I had a very stressful day at work and whipped this up when I got home. Our home was filled with an incredible aroma. My husband loved the flavor and couldn't believe how quickly I put such a fantastic meal together. I served the chicken with a side of broccoli, califlower and carrots. I will make this again.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       02/12/2008   I made this for a friend who had a new baby. They loved it, and it has become a standby for entertaining. I added olives and sundried tomatoes to the feta mixture and pulsed it in the food processor. I also used homemade broth which is SO much better. :)  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       12/16/2007   This is my absolute favorite chicken recipe. The sauce is excellent. I serve it with rice pilaf.
