Feta and Sun-dried Tomato Stuffed Chicken

Hey all! I randomly had an itch to eat a meal with sun-dried tomatoes… WEIRD?? Like, who craves those lol?! Apparently, I do. So I went with it! I absolutely LOVE using my air-fryer and decided to use it to create my feta and sun-dried tomato stuffed chicken!

By the way, if you don’t know me yet, I am also a HUGE fan of feta cheese and olives! And now that I am thinking about it, kalamata olives are not in this recipe but it would be pretty awesome to add in! Try it if you are a fan of those olives like myself!

Ingredients:

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 3 oz feta cheese
  • 2/3 cup diced sun-dried tomatoes
  • 1 Tbsp fresh Italian parsley minced
  • 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • Salt fresh cracked pepper
  • 1 Tbsp EVOO for cooking

Directions:

  1. Lay chicken breast flat on the cutting board. Carefully, slide the knife (hold it sideways with the blade facing away from you) at the top (wider part) of the chicken breast, in the center, and cut a pocket in the middle. Be sure not to cut the whole way through so the mixture doesn’t fall out of chicken. Repeat with all four breasts.
  2. In a small bowl, mix diced sun-dried tomatoes, feta cheese, oil, parsley, garlic, and pepper. Mix well until evenly combined.
  3. Stuff each chicken breast with an equal amount of tomato/feta mixture, making sure it is evenly distributed through the pocket. Lightly press each chicken breast. Spray EVOO over breasts and sprinkle parsley evenly on each breast.
  4. Place in air-fryer and cook at 375 degrees for 15 minutes.
  5. *If you do NOT have an air-fryer, preheat a large cooking pan on medium heat and add 1 TSBP EVOO. Place stuffed chicken breasts in the pan. Cook over medium/ medium-low heat until done making sure that both sides get nice and golden. This could take 20-40 minutes, depending on the thickness of the chicken.

I can’t wait to hear how you love this recipe! I am a huge fan and hope you can use it for dinner for you and the fam… or for leftovers for lunch the next day!
