Herbed Stuffed Chicken Breasts
- 4 whole skinless boneless chicken breasts (approximately 5 to 7 ounces each)
- One 3-ounce package cream cheese, softened
- 3 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/2 teaspoon dried sweet basil
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon House Seasoning (see page 325)
- 4 slices bacon
- 1 leek (optional)
- 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter, melted
- Preheat oven to 275 degrees.
- Wash and pound each chicken breast flat.
- Lay chicken breast on cookie sheet or large platter and spread it with cream cheese, followed by a quarter of the feta cheese.
- Mix together basil, oregano, and House Seasoning and sprinkle over chicken.
- Roll up each breast and wrap with a slice of bacon.
- At this time, if desired, you can tie up each rolled chicken breast with the green top of a leek.
- Cut the green top off the vegetable, leaving it long enough to tie around the breast and allowing a couple of extra inches for a knot.
- Place chicken breasts in a casserole dish and pour melted butter over all.
- Cover casserole dish with foil and bake for 1 1/2 hours.
- Uncover dish and increase temperature to 350 degrees.
- Continue to bake, allowing the bacon to brown, for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Or you could place dish under broiler for a few minutes to brown.
- Serve over rice, with pan juices poured on top.
