I've decided that one of my goals is to get some new meals worked into our regular old menu of spaghetti, tomato soup and grilled cheese, pizza and tacos. As a result, you all are going to benefit because I will be posting all of the recipes that taste good and are relatively simple, since I'm not a great cook and I don't have a whole lot of time to spend preparing meals. Then, you too will be able to introduce something new to the dinner table at least once or twice a week and with very little work involved! Hurray!
Anyway, tonight's dinner consisted of Bacon-Feta Stuffed Chicken, salad and bread with homemade jam and honeybutter. I really like Feta cheese and tomato and this chicken dinner calls for both. So, I gave it a try and it ended up tasting pretty good. So, give it a try and let me know what you think.
Bacon-Feta Stuffed Chicken
4 Boneless, skinless chicken breasts flatened--I pounded them with a rolling pin between two pieces of wax paper--very easy.
Crumbled Feta Cheese
Crumbled Cooked Bacon
Salt
Pepper
Vegetable Oil
14-1/2 oz. can diced tomatoes
Dried Basil
In the middle of each chicken breast, sprinkle some feta and bacon. Fold over the breast and secure with toothpicks. (I didn't have toothpicks, but the breasts still stayed closed pretty good.) Sprinkle each chicken breast with salt and pepper and brown in a large skillet with the oil. (I turned the chicken breasts once, so they were browned on both sides.) Drain the can of tomatoes and add to chicken. Sprinkle with a little more Feta and basil. Cover and simmer for about 10 minutes. Uncover and simmer for 5 more minutes or until chicken is no longer pink. Serves 4.
