Ingredients:

• 4 large skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
• 1/2 cup dried tomatoes
• 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 1 14 oz. can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
• 2 tsp. finely chopped fresh Basil
• 2 garlic cloves, chopped fine
• 3 tbsp. olive oil
• 1 Tbsp. olive oil
• 1 tsp. finely chopped fresh Basil
• 1 fresh tomato, sliced

Method

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Cut a pocket in chicken breasts from the thicker side in order to stuff. Soak dried tomatoes about 10 minutes in boiling water; remove from water and chop. In a mixing bowl combine the chopped tomatoes, feta cheese, chopped artichokes, 2 tsp of the basil, garlic and olive oil. Mix with spoon so all ingredients are well combined. Then stuff each breast equally. Place stuffed breasts in a shallow baking pan. Combine remaining 1 Tbsp. oil and 1 tsp. of basil; brush over top of chicken. Cover and bake for 25-30 minutes or until nearly done. Uncover and place tomato slices over the top of the chicken. Place back in oven until tomatoes cook slightly and the top of chicken slightly browns, about 5-10 minutes.

Notes: Serve with steamed veggies. For dessert serve chocolate-covered strawberries, blueberries and bananas.

Number of servings: 4
