Feta, Herb, And Sun-Dried Tomato-Stuffed Chicken
- 1/2 cup julienne-cut sun-dried tomatoes, packed without oil
- 1/2 cup (2 ounces) crumbled feta cheese
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh basil
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 4 (6-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon rind
- 1/4 cup fat-free, lower-sodium chicken broth
- Preheat oven to 425u0b0.
- Combine first 6 ingredients in a small bowl.
- Cut a horizontal slit through 1 side of each chicken breast half to form a deep pocket. Stuff 1/4 cup tomato mixture into each pocket. Sprinkle both sides of chicken evenly with salt.
- Fold 4 (16 x 12inch) sheets of heavy-duty foil in half crosswise. Open foil; place 1 1/2 teaspoons butter on half of each foil sheet. Place 1 stuffed chicken breast half on top of each portion of butter. Sprinkle 1/8 teaspoon grated lemon rind on top of each stuffed chicken breast half, and drizzle each serving with 1 tablespoon chicken broth. Fold foil over chicken, and tightly crimp edges. Place packets on a rimmed baking sheet.
- Bake at 425u0b0 for 20 minutes. Remove from oven, and let stand for 5 minutes. Carefully open packets; transfer each chicken breast half to a serving plate. Cut each chicken breast half crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Serve immediately.
