Spicy Greek Stuffed Chicken Breast
Scrumptious chicken breast stuffed with light feta cheese, spiced red peppers and black olives with a light crispy coating.
Ingredients
Directions
- Pre-heat oven to 350° F (175° C). Heat olive oil on stove at medium heat. Add chili seeds to oil and roast for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
- Add finely chopped red peppers to oil and cook until soft. Mixture will become red and frothy. Remove all oil and peppers to a heat-safe bowl once cooked.
- Slice chicken breast horizontally, stopping 3/4 of the way through.
- In a separate bowl, combine feta cheese, minced black olives and half of the olive oil/red pepper mixture. Evenly add to inside of chicken breast.
- Wrap the breast into a roll, making sure the cheese mixture is completely covered. Secure ends of chicken breast with toothpicks, ensuring no mixture can escape while cooking.
- Brush the outside of the chicken with remaining olive oil mixture, and coat with panko and parmesan cheese.
- Place chicken in a deep non-stick baking sheet. Place in oven on middle rack and bake for 30 minutes, then turn chicken. Continue to bake for another 15 minutes, or until chicken is thoroughly cooked.
- Remove toothpicks before serving.

this was a great recipe, the chicken was very moist. I used canned chili peppers instead of dried and it turned out with the perfect amount of spice. My husband LOVED it. New new staple in my house.

Yummy! I didn't try the chili pepper oil part of this recipe but did add some diced red and yellow peppers to the cheese & olive stuffing. I also substituted Kalamata olives for the green olives.
