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.
Ingredients
- 6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
- 6 ounces tomato basil feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 cup Italian-style dry bread crumbs, divided
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- 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.
- Spread 2 tablespoons bread crumbs in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Arrange chicken in the dish, and top with remaining bread crumbs.
- Bake 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear.
