Serves 4
INGREDIENTS:
2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (halved)
1 ounce feta cheese, thinly sliced
1 cup fresh mint leaves, stemmed and washed
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons olive oil
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
DIRECTIONS:
Wash and dry chicken and trim off any fat. Cut each breast in half. Lay one of the halves at the edge of a cutting board. Cut a horizontal pocket in the breast, taking care not to pierce the top, bottom or far side. Do this with all 4 pieces.
Place 2-3 slices of feta and 6-8 mint leaves in each pocket. Pin shut with lightly oiled toothpicks.
Place them in a glass or ceramic baking dish.
Finely chop the remaining mint and sprinkle it over the chicken with the lemon juice, olive oil and Sea salt and freshly ground pepper. Marinate the chicken in this mixture for 20 minutes, turning once or twice.
Preheat grill or broiler to high. Reseason with Sea salt & pepper. Grill or broil until cooked, 3-5 minutes per side. Remove toothpicks and serve at once. |
