Chicken Feta And Sun Dried Tomato Wraps Food

CHICKEN BREAST STUFFED WITH FETA CHEESE, SUN-DRIED TOMATO

Steps:

• Sauté garlic and red bell pepper, in Olive Oil, for about 3 minutes (just enough to"combine" the flavors).
• Put aside to cool.
• In a bowl, combine Feta cheese, breadcrumbs, thyme, sun-dried tomatoes, and garlic and red pepper mixture.
• Toss until well mixed (this will be your "stuffing").
• Lay a flattened piece of chicken breast on a cutting board or your counter.
• Put a 1/4 of the above mixture on the flattened chicken breast like you would be making a burrito and roll as tight as you can get it.
• Secure it with a toothpick or butcher string.
• Place chicken breast "roll" on a baking sheet (I spray it with Pam so it doesn't stick), brush with olive oil (this gives it a nice golden brown texture), and season with salt and pepper.
• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Cook for about 35 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 180°F.
• I guess you could try it on a grill, but I never attempted it yet!
• Garnish with chopped green onion and serve hot.

CHICKEN WITH SUN-DRIED TOMATOES, FETA AND SPINACH IN PHYLLO CUPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Brush 6 or 12-cup muffin tins with butter using pastry brush. Brush a layer of phyllo dough with butter, top with a second sheet of pastry, butter, then season the phyllo with salt and pepper and then top with a third sheet. Cut into 6 or 12 squares and arrange the phyllo in cups, allowing the dough to crumple and spill out of the tops of the tins. Brush the inside of the pastry cups with remaining butter. Bake until golden, 5 to 8 minutes. Cool.
• To a skillet preheated over medium high heat add chicken, garlic and onions and season with salt and pepper. Saute 5 minutes, add the sun-dried tomatoes and spinach and cook another 3 to 5 minutes. Add feta and taste to adjust seasonings.
• To serve, place phyllo cups on a serving platter and fill with mounds of chicken, sun- dried tomatoes and spinach mixture. A hearty vegetable and olive salad makes a perfect starter or side to this delicious, quick cross between chicken pot pies and spanakopita.
