{FOOD} Stuffed Greek Chicken

StuffedGreekChicken

One of my faaaavorite sites to visit at dinnertime is is supercook.com. It lets you enter all the ingredients that you currently have in your kitchen, then compiles oodles of recipes that you can make with what you’ve got. The other night it directed me to this tasty little recipe for Stuffed Greek Chicken from Chatelaine. Corey and I made a few slight tweaks to the recipe, substituting tomatoes for red peppers and adding fresh garlic. We also used All-Purpose Seasoning in place of dried oregano leaves. The result? Ahhh-maaazing! Seriously, might be one of my fave dishes we have ever cooked together. Here’s our version of the recipe:

Ingredients
1/2 cup (125 mL) crumbled feta cheese
1/4 cup (50 mL) chopped tomatoes
2 chopped garlic cloves
2 green onions, thinly sliced
4 large skinless, boneless chicken breasts
Toothpicks (optional)
1 tsp (5 mL) each All-Purpose Seasoning and garlic salt
1 lemon (optional)

Instructions
1. Oil grill and heat barbecue to medium. Mash cheese with tomatoes and garlic in a bowl. Stir in onions. Working with 1 breast at a time, form a pocket in thickest side by making a horizontal cut about 2 1/2 in. (6 cm) long and 1 1/2 in. (3.5 cm) deep.

2. Gently open and stuff in cheese mixture, pushing as close to centre of breast as possible. Wet inside edges of opening and press down to seal. If you have toothpicks, insert through edge opening to hold together.

3. Lightly oil outside of chicken and generously sprinkle with seasonings. Place chicken on grill. Barbecue, with lid closed, until chicken is cooked through and feels springy, 8 to 10 min per side. Squeeze lemon juice overtop before serving.

Side Dish Suggestion: We completed our meal with mashed potatoes and grilled zucchini and onions.
