Stuffed chicken breasts are a simple, and elegant way to serve up some chicken breasts. Sometimes its really hard to come up with ideas for what to do with chicken breasts, though. They are a staple in most people's kitchens, but they can be boring. I know, I do get tired of thinking up ways to use chicken breasts. We've been sold on using chicken breasts for the lean protein. So they are a go-to protein for so many of us.Spinach, Feta, Sundried Tomato Stuffed Chicken Breasts

 

So, to the rescue, I have this delicious combo of sun-dried tomato, basil, spinach and feta stuffed chicken breasts. It's going to really jazz up your chicken breasts. These gorgeous Mediterranean flavours will deliciously infuse a boring chicken breast to make it taste amazing. I always love the oven time, because, while it's in there I get to do all the sides. Put a squeeze of fresh lemon juice on the chicken right when it comes out of the oven, to add flavour and personally, I love to make it sizzle. Sizzling food is fun food.

Quicker, more evenly cooked chicken

Pounding your chicken breasts to an even thickness is an important step here, and takes very little time. It gives you enough chicken to roll around your filling, while also allowing for the chicken to cook evenly. It also stretches your chicken so that you have less chicken, more filling, and more servings. Here's a great step by step for pounding: How (and When) To Pound Chicken Breast. I have allowed for 4 servings of one chicken breast per serving here, but you can easily serve 6-8 if you have side dishes. And we love the filling part of this chicken dish so much, that less chicken is just fine.

A super fresh and simple combination of lemon, spinach, feta, sun-dried tomato and basil will transform these stuffed chicken breasts from boring to amazing. When you slice it up, the presentation will be impressive, and only you will know, just how simple this was to cook.

For some more easy and creative ways with chicken, try Thai Peach Chicken, Chicken Stroganoff, or Apple Chicken Stew.
