Pesto Feta Stuffed Chicken Breast

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F.

Step 2

Using a sharp knife, make a slit along the side of each chicken breast to form a pocket.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together the feta cheese, pesto, and fresh basil. Stuff the chicken breasts with the mixture, and secure with toothpicks if necessary.

Step 4

Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.

Step 5

Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the stuffed chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown.

Step 6

Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.

Step 7

Remove the toothpicks before serving.
