Ingredients

  • 4 boneless , skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 can (14 ounces) artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves , chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic , minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
  • In a bowl, combine the chopped artichoke hearts, crumbled feta cheese, chopped basil leaves, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create the stuffing mixture.
  • Lay the chicken breasts flat on a cutting board and make a horizontal slit along the side of each breast to create a pocket for the stuffing.
  • Stuff each chicken breast with a generous amount of the artichoke and feta mixture, pressing it firmly to fill the pocket.
  • Secure the openings with toothpicks or kitchen twine to ensure the stuffing stays in place during cooking.
  • Season the outside of the chicken breasts with additional salt and pepper, if desired.
  • Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil.
  • Sear the stuffed chicken breasts on each side for about 2-3 minutes until lightly browned.
  • Transfer the seared chicken breasts to the prepared baking dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
  • Serve the succulent Artichoke and Feta Stuffed Chicken Breast as a main course, accompanied by your favorite side dishes or a fresh salad.
