Chicken Feta And Sun Dried Tomato Wraps Recipes

FETA AND SUN-DRIED TOMATO STUFFED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Whisk together the lemon juice, extra-virgin olive oil, Greek seasoning, and lemon zest in a bowl. Pound the chicken breasts between sheets of wax paper or plastic wrap to a thickness of 1/4 inch. Marinate the chicken in the lemon marinade at least 30 minutes. Meanwhile, stir together the feta cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, kalamata olives, and 1 tablespoon of oil from the jar of sun-dried tomatoes in a small bowl; set aside.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Remove the chicken from the marinade, and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade. Divide the stuffing mixture onto each piece of chicken. Fold the edges of the chicken over the filling, and secure with toothpicks. Place onto a baking dish, seam-side down, and place two roasted pepper strips onto each stuffed breast.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is no longer pink, about 30 minutes. Remember to remove the toothpicks before serving.

CHICKEN, FETA CHEESE, AND SUN-DRIED TOMATO WRAPS

Steps:

• In a large resealable plastic bag, combine chicken breasts and 1/4 cup dressing. Seal, and refrigerate for several hours.
• Preheat grill for high heat. Combine sun-dried tomatoes and hot water in a small bowl. Set aside for 10 minutes, drain, and cut tomatoes into thin slices.
• Lightly oil grill grate. Discard marinade, and place chicken on grill. Cook for 12 to 15 minutes, turning once, or until done.
• Cut chicken into strips, and place in a medium bowl with sliced tomatoes, feta, and spinach. Toss with remaining 1/4 cup dressing. Distribute mixture between the four tortillas, and wrap. Either cut in half and enjoy cold, or place briefly back on grill until the tortilla turns warm and crispy.

SUN DRIED TOMATO FETA STUFFED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Lay chicken breast flat on the cutting board. Carefully, slide the knife (hold it sideways with blade facing away from you) at the top (wider part) of the chicken breast, in the center, and cut a pocket in the middle. DO NOT slice all the way through the bottom or the sides of the chicken breast. Your ultimate goal is to create a pocket inside the breast with opening at the top. Repeat with all three breasts.
• In a small bowl, mix minced sun dried tomatoes, Feta cheese, oil, parsley, salt and pepper. Mix well until evenly combined.
• Stuff each chicken breast with equal amount of tomato/feta mixture, making sure it is evenly distributed through the pocket. Lightly press each chicken breast.
• Rub each chicken with about a tablespoon of pesto.
• Preheat a large cooking pan on medium heat and add vegetable oil. Place stuffed chicken breasts in the pan.
• Cook over medium/ medium-low heat until done making sure that both sides get nice and golden (lots of flavor comes from the chicken cooked to golden brown). This could take 20-30 minutes, depending on thickness of the chicken.

STUFFED CYPRIOT CHICKEN

Steps:

• Pile the parsley, basil, sun-dried tomatoes, with a drizzle of their oil and a pinch of pepper onto a chopping board. Crush or grate over 2 cloves of garlic before finely chopping everything together.Crumble over the feta and the lemon zest and mix again.
• Line up the chicken breasts, skin side down. Use a small knife to carefully fold back the fillets and cut a little pocket in each one, slitting and cutting down until you can open each breast out like a book.
• Divide the filling into the middle of each chicken breast, pat it down, and then fold the chicken back over to cover. Use the rosemary sprigs to thread through the open side of the chicken. This will keep the chicken breasts closed and prevent the filling from spilling out, making handling much easier.
• Add 2 glugs of olive oil to the empty frying pan. Using tongs, lay the chicken, skin side down, in the pan. Scrunch up a sheet of greaseproof paper under the tap. Flatten it out and tuck over the chicken. Leave to cook, shaking the pan every now and then.
• When the first side of the chicken is browned up nicely, take off the greaseproof paper and turn the chicken breasts around carefully. Replace the greaseproof paper before putting a heavy pan on top of the chicken to push it down and help it crisp up.
• Transfer the golden chicken to a serving board, pouring over the juices from the pan.

CHICKEN BREAST STUFFED WITH FETA CHEESE, SUN-DRIED TOMATO

Steps:

• Sauté garlic and red bell pepper, in Olive Oil, for about 3 minutes (just enough to"combine" the flavors).
• Put aside to cool.
• In a bowl, combine Feta cheese, breadcrumbs, thyme, sun-dried tomatoes, and garlic and red pepper mixture.
• Toss until well mixed (this will be your "stuffing").
• Lay a flattened piece of chicken breast on a cutting board or your counter.
• Put a 1/4 of the above mixture on the flattened chicken breast like you would be making a burrito and roll as tight as you can get it.
• Secure it with a toothpick or butcher string.
• Place chicken breast "roll" on a baking sheet (I spray it with Pam so it doesn't stick), brush with olive oil (this gives it a nice golden brown texture), and season with salt and pepper.
• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Cook for about 35 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 180°F.
• I guess you could try it on a grill, but I never attempted it yet!
• Garnish with chopped green onion and serve hot.
