FETA STUFFED PESTO CHICKEN

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 350.
• In a bowl, combine feta, tomato, onion, garlic, jalapeno, oregano, basil salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Using a sharp knife, cut into the fatest part of each breast and create a pocket. Be careful not to cut straight through.
• Put the pesto in a large ziplock bag and place the chicken in with it. Mix it around until the chicken is thoroughly coated.
• Place the coated chicken in a greased glass pan.
• Stuff the feta mix into the pockets of each chicken breast.
• Arrange the chicken so the openings of the pockets are on an angle (facing upward) so once they start baking the mix doesn't ooze out.
