Feta & Herb Stuffed Chicken Breasts
Contributed by
"Dennis K."
Make a pocket incision in the chicken breasts. Similar to a butterfly cut. Do not cut all the way through. Crumble feta, cut in a generous amount of herbs. Reserve some herbs for finishing the pan sauce. Stuff the chicken breasts with the cheese and herb mixture. Season with a little pepper. The feta is naturally very salty, so no add'l salt is needed. Melt butter in a skillet large enough to hold the chicken. Sear the chicken in the butter for about 5 minutes, or long enough to cook the bottom cut of the chicken. Then turn over. Cover skillet and cook until chicken is done - about another 5 minutes or so. Remove chicken from pan to serving dish. Sauté shallots in pan drippings for about 1 minute. Deglaze pan with white wine. Reduce heat and add 1/2 cup of cream. Simmer and reduce heat by half. Add remaining herbs to finish the sauce. Pour over chicken and serve. |
