Cheese Stuffed Chicken

Ingredients

  * 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  * 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  * 3 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley
  * 1/2 tsp. dried oregano leaves
  * 2 Tbsp. olive oil
  * 2 (14 oz.) cans diced tomatoes with roasted garlic, undrained
  * 1/4 cup sliced black olives
  * 1 Tbsp. cornstarch

Directions

Cut a 3" slit in the thick side of each chicken breast to form a pocket, being careful to not cut completely through the flesh. Combine cheese, parsley, oregano and oil and mix gently. Spoon 1/4 of filling into each pocket. Place chicken in ungreased 2 quart baking dish.

In another small bowl, mix tomatoes, olives and cornstarch and pour over chicken. Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes until chicken is thoroughly cooked. Serve with spaghetti, if you like. Serves 4

Notes

You can substitute blue cheese for the feta cheese if you'd like. You could also use any strong flavored cheese, such as sharp cheddar.
