Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts size of each, roughly 6 oz
- salt and pepper to taste
- 4 tsp light mayo 1 tsp per breast
- 4 tbsp panko bread crumbs
- 4 oz reduced fat feta cheese (1 oz per breast)
- 8 tbsp sundried tomatoes in oil (roughly 2 tbsp per breast)
- 4 tbsp fresh basil roughly chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
Prep Chicken
- Salt and Pepper chicken breast
- Baste each chicken breast with one teaspoon of light mayo.
- Spread bread crumbs on a plate. After each chicken breast is covered with mayo, press each breast into the plate of panko until completely covered on each side.
- Once you've finished breading chicken, make an incision along the side of each breast. The incision should stretch across the length of the chicken. As you make the incision, you want to cut almost all the way through without cutting the chicken in half to form a pocket for the stuffing.
Prep Mixture
- In a medium sized bowl, combine feta, sun dried tomatoes, and chopped basil. Mix together.
Stuff the chicken
- Divide the tomato basil mixture into four and stuff inside each chicken breast.
- Put the stuffed chicken on a foil lined baking tray
- Once the oven is preheated, bake stuffed chicken for 25-30 minutes (or until the inside is no longer pink).
