Easy and Tasty: Baked Feta and Herb-Stuffed Chicken Breasts
Hey, fellow food fans and chaos coordinators! You know how life gets. The whole work-family-life balancing act leaves us just a little less time to get fancy dinners on the table, right? And let’s be real—it seems like the wallet gnomes come in at night and make sure there’s never quite enough cash left for anything exciting. Today, I’m sharing a recipe that’s not only delightfully flavorful but also keeps things simple. Enter: Baked Feta and Herb-Stuffed Chicken Breasts. It’s budget-friendly, quick to prep, and perfect for those nights when you want something homemade without sacrificing your precious time!
Your Grocery List: Keep it Simple
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh basil, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon paprika
Cooking It Up: As Easy as 1, 2, 3
- Prep the Chicken: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Butterfly each chicken breast by carefully slicing it horizontally, but don’t cut all the way through—just enough to create a pocket.
- Make the Stuffing: In a bowl, combine the feta, minced garlic, lemon juice, parsley, and basil. Stir well until it’s all evenly mixed. If your life is as crazy as mine, you might forget to chop everything neatly; it’ll still taste great, I promise.
- Stuff ‘Em: Take that delicious herby-feta mix and spoon a generous amount into each chicken breast pocket. You might get a little messy—that’s just part of the fun!
- Season and Secure: Drizzle the olive oil over the stuffed chicken breasts, then sprinkle with salt, pepper, and paprika. Use toothpicks to secure the edges of the chicken around the filling.
- Bake to Perfection: Place the stuffed breasts in a baking dish and pop them into the oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until your chicken is deliciously golden and cooked all the way through.
- Serve and Savor: Once out of the oven, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before removing the toothpicks. Serve with your favorite side of veggies or a crisp salad.
