I am constantly stuffing different ingredients in chicken. It is such a great way to take a plain ole chicken breast and make it exciting.
After tasting the Sun Dried Tomato Tapenade that I posted yesterday my mind immediately went to stuffed chicken breasts. I have made similar stuffed chicken before with Mediterranean flavors, but this one was just too easy to pass up.
For a side try a simple roasted broccoli like I did. Drizzle with some olive oil, salt and pepper and stick it in the oven while you cook the chicken.

I’m slightly obsessed with feta, so this seems like something I’d love. Of course my husband isn’t a fan of olives, so I’m not sure if he’d like it, but I guess we’ll have to find out. Ha!
