  • 2 tbsp pine nuts
  • 2 tbsp basil chopped

Instructions

  • Make the filling by combining the bell pepper, feta cheese, olives, red onion, pine nuts, and basil in a small bowl.
  • Prepare the chicken by cutting a horizontal slit through the thickest portion of the chicken breast to form a small pocket.
  • Stuff the chicken breasts with 2-3 tbsp of the cheese mixture into each pocket; close the opening with a toothpick.
  • Season the chicken breast with sea salt, freshly cracked pepper, garlic powder, and oregano, to taste, on each side.
  • Heat a grill pan or grill over medium-high heat, and coat it with olive oil cooking spray.
  • Cook the chicken by placing it on the hot grill for 6 minutes on each side or until cooked through with a meat thermometer.
  • Remove from grill, cover loosely with foil, and let the meat rest for 7-10 minutes.
  • Slice and serve. Enjoy.
