Ingredients:
4 boneless,skinless chicken breasts about 4-6 ounces each
2 ounces of Feta cheese
1/2 cup basil,slivered
1and1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar (I only used about 5 drops of this amount )
3/4 cup chicken stock (I used lowfat,low sodium broth and I used a full cup)
HINT"" I bought a ready made crumbled Feta that was a blend of Feta,basil and tomato made by a company called :"Athenos" This way I didn't have to do any prep work!!
Cooking Instructions:
1. Mix the Feta with the slivered basil and divide the herbed cheese into 4 equal rectangles.
2.Cut a deep horizontal pocket in the side of each chicken breast,making sure the pocket does not pierce the top or bottom of the chicken breast. Place an equal amount of herbed cheese in each pocket. Secure the pockets with toothpicks threaded along the side to close.
3.Heat the olive oil in a heavy oven -proof skillet until it begins to smoke. Cook each side of the chicken till golden brown
4. Add the vinegar and chicken broth and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and gently simmer the chicken for 2 or 3 minutes,then remove the chicken and keep chicken breasts warm in the oven. Continue to cook the sauce until it reduces to a thick syrup.
5 Taste the sauce and season with salt and pepper. Spoon the sauce over each chicken breast and serve.
