STUFFED CHICKEN BREAST W/FETA CHEESE
I saw this recipe on a PBS channel here in CA. My family loves it because the cheese makes it taste so tangy. It's ever so simple to make. Tip - here in CA it's much cheaper to buy Feta Cheese at a club. I cook the breast with the skin to keep it moist but we don't eat it because of the fat content.

Steps:
- Preheat Oven to 350 degrees.
- Crumble Feta Cheese into a medium sized bowl.
- Put Italian Seasoning in palm and crush it as you sprinkle it over the cheese as this releases more flavor.
- Add garlic & onion powder, salt & pepper.
- Mix together with fork.
- Turn the breast so that the thickest part is facing you.
- With a sharp knife cut a pocket in the breast - make sure you don't cut all the way through on any of the three sides. You can cut right along the rib which I find is much easier.
- Separate the Feta Mixture into 6 equal portions (or whatever amount of breasts you are making). Stuff each portion of the Feta Mixture into the pocket of one breast.
- Flatten the mixture by pressing down on the top part of the pocket then slightly pull the top of the pocket over the cheese. As it cooks the meat will contract a little bit and the cheese will 'pop' out. If you don't cover it the cheese will spill out all over the place.
- Spray boiler pan with Cooking Spray & place chicken on pan.
- Cook for no more than 45 minutes or chicken will be tough & dry.

- Marinade/Rub: Finely chop the basil leaves and put them in a bowl. Add olive oil and stir. Sprinkle mixed garlic on top and add a pinch of salt. Chill in the refrigerator over night.
- Preheat oven to 355 degrees. Take the chicken and put your prepared rub on the chicken breasts. Sprinkle salt and pepper on top to taste. Lay out the breasts, once the rub is on, and place feta in the middle of the breast. Take the chicken and wrap it around the feta, making a roll. Secure together with a tooth pick (some of the feta may fall out so once the roll is secured stuff the chicken with more feta). Warp one slice of prosciutto around the rolled chicken. Secure with string.
