Equipment

  • Oven
  • Large pan

Ingredients
  

  • 4 pieces boneless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup pitted Kalamata olives chopped
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 lemon zested and juiced
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh basil

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Cut a slit in each chicken breast to form a pocket. Be careful not to cut all the way through. Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
  • In a bowl, combine the chopped olives, feta cheese, and thyme. Stuff each chicken breast with the olive mixture.
  • Heat olive oil in a large, oven-safe pan over medium-high heat. Add the stuffed chicken, cooking about 5 minutes on each side until browned.
  • Remove the pan from heat. In the same pan, add the minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, and white wine, stirring to combine.
  • Transfer the pan to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
  • Sprinkle with fresh basil before serving.

Special Tip

To intensify the flavor profile even more, consider marinating the chicken in a mixture of lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic and thyme for approximately one hour before cooking. This step will ensure the chicken is thoroughly infused with the Mediterranean flavors. Ensure to pat the chicken dry before stuffing and frying to achieve a crisp, golden exterior.
