Skinny Mediterranean Baked Chicken

Skinny Mediterranean Baked Chicken

Servings: 4

Time it'll take: about 1 hr

What you'll need:

• 4 Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
• 8 garlic cloves
• 1/2 cup crumbled Feta Cheese
• 1 tbsp. Olive Oil
• Salt & Pepper
• 2 tsp. dried Oregano
• 1 whole Lemon, cut into slices
• 1/2 cup Kalamata Olives, pitted

What to do:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Gently cut a slit across the side of each Chicken Breast, creating a pocket. (Careful not to cut through the other side, or the bottom.  It's easier than it sounds.)
• Peel and crush the garlic cloves to a mashed consistency, then spread 2 cloves of garlic in the pocket of each chicken breast.
• Stuff each pocket with some of the feta cheese, then fold the top flap over so as to seal up the pocket.  Reserve a little bit of Feta for after baking.
• Rub each chicken breast with a little bit of the olive oil, then sprinkle with salt, pepper & oregano.  
• Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray, and set the stuffed chicken breasts on it.
• Slice the lemon into 8 slices and the Kalamata Olives into halves.
• Squeeze the juice from the lemons evenly onto the chicken, the scatter the lemons on the baking sheet around the chicken so they are touching.
• Scatter the Olives so that there are several resting on each chicken breast.
• Put in the oven and bake about 45 mins., until done.  (Be sure to cut into the chicken breasts to make sure they're cooked through.)
• Remove from oven and sprinkle with remaining feta.

Serve with a simple salad with greek dressing, like the LMS Favorite Salad, or if you want a starch, go for Roasted New Potatoes! Mmmm...

ENJOY!
