recipe: kale, feta, and sun dried tomato stuffed chicken
i made a modified version of this recipe for lunch the other day and oh my goodness, there was party in my mouth.
Ingredients:
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 large handfuls of kale, washed and chopped
- 4 sun dried tomatoes, chopped
- 1/4 cup feta cheese
- handful of raw or roasted pine nuts
- 1 large chicken breast, cut in half lengthwise to create two large flat pieces
- 2 tbs lemon juice
- 3 tbs olive oil, plus extra for sautéing
- pepper & salt
Preparation:
- preheat the oven to 400F.
- sauté garlic and kale in olive oil for about 5 minutes
- mix chopped sun dried tomatoes, feta cheese, and pine nuts - mix in garlic and kale mixture when done
- prepare chicken by placing it between 2 sheets of saran and pounding it out.. a plate and a fist works if you don’t have a meat mallet. it should be about 1/4 of an inch thick or a little less.
- top flattened chicken with the sun dried tomatoes, feta, pine nuts, kale, and garlic. roll and secure with toothpicks or butcher’s string.
- stir together olive oil, lemon juice, and some salt and pepper. spoon this onto the chicken rolls.
- place in over and bake for 20 minutes or until cooked through.
