Feta-Stuffed Chicken Breast

1 . Stage

Use a sharp knife to slice a pocket in the thickest part of each chicken breast.

2 . Stage

Mix bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl.

3 . Stage

Cut feta block into 10 slices crosswise, then cut in half again lengthwise. Roll each piece of feta in the bread crumb mixture to coat. Stuff 2 pieces coated feta into the pocket of each chicken breast. Season breasts with salt and pepper.

4 . Stage

Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Working in batches to avoid overcrowding, add chicken and cook until cheese is melted and chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove to a plate and keep warm while cooking remaining chicken.

5 . Stage

Slice chicken at a 45-degree angle and arrange on a plate. Sprinkle with crumbled feta.
