Hey, is it date night? A birthday? A special occasion? Need something a little special for dinner tonight? I have two words for you: Feta and bacon Okay a couple more: Chicken Garlic Peanut butter –JK on that last one. Throw all (most of) those things together, and you have a recipe for one of my very favorite slightly special dinners, Bacon and Feta Stuffed Chicken Breast. This is the best dinner when you need something a little above and beyond because:
It tastes amazing. Like seriously amazing. It’s basically fool-proof to make–you’d have to really, really try to ruin this dish. You can make Bacon and Feta Stuffed Chicken Breast mostly in advance, so if you are making it for company, it’s a low-stress dish to manage while you are running around getting ready. It will make your house smell like HEAVEN. I’m serious. If you have guests coming over, they minute they walk through the door, they will ask you what smells so amazing before they even say hi.
Bacon and Feta Stuffed Chicken Breast is about as simple to make as it gets. You butterfly a chicken breast (watch this if you’ve never done that before) and then stuff it with feta cheese and some cooked, crumbled bacon. After that, you mix together some olive oil, garlic, oregano, and a little salt and pepper and pour it over the top. That all goes into the oven and 25 to 40 minutes later something magical comes out. The chicken is moist, stuffed with salty, tangy feta and smokey bacon. And the leftover drippings in the pan are perfect for spooning over steamed veggies. My family also likes to serve rice on the side with the drippings. I think a little Parmesan Orzo goes better, but you do what you want. 😉
