Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder
• 4 cloves garlic, chopped
• ¼ cup seasoned bread crumbs
• 10 (6 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
• 1 (8 ounce) package Cheese, feta
• ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese, or to taste

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Use a sharp knife to slice a pocket in the thickest part of each chicken breast.

Step 2

Mix bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl.

Step 3

Cut feta block into 10 slices crosswise, then cut in half again lengthwise. Roll each piece of feta in the bread crumb mixture to coat. Stuff 2 pieces coated feta into the pocket of each chicken breast. Season breasts with salt and pepper.

Step 4

Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Working in batches to avoid overcrowding, add chicken and cook until cheese is melted and chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove to a plate and keep warm while cooking remaining chicken.

Step 5

Slice chicken at a 45-degree angle and arrange on a plate. Sprinkle with crumbled feta.
