Feta Chicken

My midwife wants to me to try to get 80-100 g of protein a day while pregnant. I don't think I have succeeded thus far, but this should help! (one piece of chicken has 30g+ in it!!!) I made it awhile ago and it was so good. Moist and just different. I got it off of AllRecipes.com.

Some changes I made were: using just Feta Cheese and sprinkling basil inside and out of the chicken, I do NOT sprinkle bread crumbs on the bottom of the pan cause it was a mess to clean afterwards, Use olive oil to bread the chicken, and finally, I had a hard time getting the chicken to fold over and stay that way - so I'll use a toothpick to assist with that. 

Feta Chicken Recipe

Ingredients

  • 6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 6 ounces tomato basil feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup Italian-style dry bread crumbs, divided

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. Place chicken breasts between 2 pieces of waxed paper. Gently pound chicken with flat side of meat mallet or rolling pin until about 1/4 inch thick; remove wax paper. Place 1 ounce of feta cheese in the center of each chicken breast, and fold in half.
  3. Spread 2 tablespoons bread crumbs in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Arrange chicken in the dish, and top with remaining bread crumbs.
  4. Bake 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear.
