hCG -Friendly Mediterranean Stuffed Chicken
Ingredients
- 1 large red bell pepper
- ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons pitted Kalamata olives, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon minced, fresh basil
- 8 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (approx. 6 oz. each)
Directions
1. Preheat broiler and cut bell pepper in half lengthwise. Discard seeds and membranes.
2. Place pepper halves 'skin sides up' on a foil-lined baking sheet.
3. Broil for 15 minutes or until blackened.
4. Place in a zip-top plastic bag and seal. Let stand for 15 minutes. Peel and finely chop.
5. Prepare grill to medium high heat. Combine bell pepper, cheese, olives and basil.
6. Cut a horizontal slit through the thickest portion of each chicken breast to form a pocket.
7. Stuff two tablespoons of bell pepper mixture into each pocket, then close each opening with a toothpick.
8. Sprinkle chicken with ¼ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon of black pepper.
9. Place chicken on a grill rack coated with cooking spray. Broil for at least 6 minutes on each side or until done.
10. Remove from broiler, cover loosely with foil and let stand for ten minutes.
11. Serve and enjoy eating hCG -friendly (makes 8 servings)!
Helpful hint: You can cut back on your prep time by chopping olives, mincing basil and trimming chicken, while the peppers cook.
