Sun-dried Tomato Pesto, Spinach and Feta Stuffed Chicken


3-4 Chicken Breasts
Sun-dried Tomato Pesto (recipe calls for a 1/4 cup - I buy a 7oz container  and divide it)
Baby Spinach
Crumbled Feta Cheese (8oz container)
Olive Oil  or Regular Cooking Spray
1Can Diced Tomatoes with Olive Oil, Basil, and Oregano
¼ tsp Cracked Black Pepper
¼ tsp Kosher Salt

1.      Preheat oven to 500’, Coat baking dish with cooking spray.
2.    Trim and pound Chicken Breast with a meat mallet to flatten it.  Place it in a baking dish.
3.    Spread Pesto evenly down the length of the chicken breast. Top with Feta and Spinach (be generous with your filling!).
4.    Fold over Chicken Breast and secure with two toothpicks. Sprinkle with Salt and Pepper, and top it with the diced tomatoes.
5.     Bake for about 25 minutes (or reduce the temp and cook until done)

Enjoy!
