Ingredients

  • 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • Feta cheese
  • 4-5 cherry tomatoes
  • Olive oil
  • Salt
  • Ground black pepper
  • Oregano
  • Garlic

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare Chicken Breasts

Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).

Take three boneless, skinless chicken breasts and butterfly them by cutting through the meatiest part.

Be careful not to cut all the way through; the chicken should open like a book, creating a pocket for the filling.

Step 2: Add the Filling

Place your favorite cheese, such as feta, in the center of each chicken breast.

Add about four to five cherry tomatoes to each chicken breast.

Fold the chicken breast over to encase the filling and secure with toothpicks to keep everything in place during baking.

Step 3: Prepare the Baking Dish

Drizzle a small amount of olive oil in a baking dish to prevent the chicken from sticking.

Place the stuffed chicken breasts in the dish.

Season the chicken with salt, ground black pepper, oregano, and minced garlic for enhanced flavor.

Drizzle a little more olive oil over the chicken to keep it moist during cooking.

Step 4: Bake the Chicken

Bake the stuffed chicken breasts in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the juices run clear.

The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).

Step 5: Serve the Chicken

Once the chicken is cooked through, carefully remove the toothpicks before serving.

Cut each chicken breast in half to check for juiciness and ensure it is cooked properly.

Serve hot and enjoy your delicious stuffed chicken breasts!
