CHICKEN STUFFED WITH FETA, BASIL, PINENUTS & CAPSICUM
I made this last night to celebrate my wedding anniversary and it was delicious. I know there are lots of recipes for stuffed chicken out there, but this is my own take, and includes a wine reduction sauce. I served it with fresh asparagus and crispy roasted potato. I grilled my own capsicum, but bottled grilled capsicum would work equally well. The cheese amounts are approximate - add or reduce to your own taste. Goats cheese would also work, or ricotta. for the reduction sauce, fresh garlic would also work, and chives could be substituted for the spring onions.

Steps:
- Pre-heat the oven to about 200°C.
- Toast the pine nuts until golden. Set aside to cool. (Note: I often do this in the microwave - spray some oil over the pine nuts and cook for about 2 minutes on high, checking them after 1 minute).
- Between two pieces of cling film, pound the chicken fillets until a few mm thick all over.
- Lay the capsicum strips the length of chicken, then place the feta, basil leaves, parmesan and pine nuts in the centre of the fillet.
- Carefully roll the fillets and secure at the end with a toothpick. Secure the side with toothpicks to ensure the filling doesn't drop put.
- Add the flour to a small plastic or ziplock bag. One at a time, place the secured chicken fillets inside the bay, and gently shake to coat the fillets with the flour.
- Break the egg into a shallow bowl, and whisk so the white and yolk are combined. Gently coat the floured fillets in the egg mixture.
- Place the panko or breadcrumbs in a bowl and roll the fillets in the panko until completely covered.
- In a heavy based saucepan, add the oil and heat to medium-hot temperature.
- Add the chicken bundles and cook all sides until golden brown, being careful not to burn the panko. Retain the chicken juices and brown bits in the pan for use with the sauce.
- Transfer the fillets to an oiled oven tray and bake for about 20 minutes.
- While the chicken is baking, place the saucepan back on the heat, and add the wine, cook until boiling. Add the stock and garlic granules, reduce heat and simmer uncovered for at least 15 minutes. If the sauce needs thickening, combine the cornflour and water in a small cup, mix well and then add to the sauce mixture.
- Once the chicken is cooked, place on serving plates and pour the sauce over the chicken, Garnish with spring onion or chives.

BACON-FETA STUFFED CHICKEN
Chicken breasts are incredibly versatile, and I think feta cheese is so underrated. You can buy feta in so many different flavors...basil and tomato is our favorite.-Vicki Smith, Okeechobee, Florida

Mix with the feta and a little black pepper, then stuff between the flesh and skin of the chicken, smoothing the skin back over the stuffing. Season the chicken all over with a little salt and pepper.
- Heat the oil in a frying pan with a lid. Add the chicken, skin-side down, and fry until the skin is browned. Turn it over and cook on the other side, then add the pine nuts and fry until lightly toasted. Add 6 tbsp water, then cover for 15-20 mins until the chicken is cooked through.

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.

Place 2 slices of tomato 1 teaspoon pine nuts and about 4 basil leaves in the pocket of each chicken breast. Secure the pocket with toothpicks threading along the side to close.

- Remove the chicken breasts from the skillet and keep in a warm oven or under a foil tent. Continue to cook the sauce until it is reduced to a thick syrup.
- Taste the sauce and season with salt and pepper. Spoon the sauce over each chicken breast. Garnish with fresh basil.

- Use a sharp knife to slice a pocket in the thickest part of each chicken breast.
- Mix bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl.

- Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Working in batches to avoid overcrowding, add chicken and cook until cheese is melted and chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove to a plate and keep warm while cooking remaining chicken.
- Slice chicken at a 45-degree angle and arrange on a plate. Sprinkle with crumbled feta.
