artichoke-and-feta-stuffed-chicken-breasts-with-lemon-dill-sauce

When you cut into this chicken breasts the melted feta comes pouring out and mixes with the sauce. It’s a beautiful thing.

Yield : Serves 4

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 (14-ounce) can artichoke hearts, rinsed, well drained and chopped
  • ½ cup crumbled sheep’s milk feta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh chives, divided use
  • 1-½ teaspoons minced fresh dill, divided use
  • 1-½ teaspoons grated lemon zest, divided use
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Directions

Trim chicken and cut a pocket in the thick edge of each breast by holding knife parallel to breast and slicing to open up about 4 inches. Season the inside of the pocket with salt and pepper. Chop the artichoke hearts and combine with feta, 1 tablespoon chives, 1 teaspoon dill and 1 teaspoon lemon zest. Stuff ¼ cup of filling into each chicken pocket, pinching edges to seal.

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the chicken and cook 3 to 4 minutes or until well browned on both sides. Remove chicken to a plate.

Add the chicken broth to the skillet along with remaining dill and lemon zest. Stir cornstarch into lemon juice and add to sauce. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly to thicken.

Return chicken to the skillet, with any accumulated juices, turning to coat in the sauce. Cover and cook for 7 to 9 minutes or until chicken is cooked through, turning over once. Serve chicken topped with sauce and sprinkled with remaining chives.
