***I had some chicken and extra feta cheese left over from making the Greek Chicken Pasta the other night. I was looking for a good recipe that would use it up, and this one was perfect! Brad and I love dishes with feta cheese...this one is no exception. I came across this recipe in Julia Tyler's food blog on The Nest. A link to her blog is below...Thanks Julia!***Ingredients:
4 (4-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
4 (4-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
1/4 cup dry, seasoned breadcrumbs
1/4 cup (1 ounce) crumbled feta cheese
1/2 tsp. dried basil
Vegetable cooking spray
1 1/2 teaspoons butter
Directions:
Place each chicken breast half between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap; flatten to 1/4-inch thickness, using a meat mallet or rolling pin. Dredge chicken in breadcrumbs.

Spoon 1 tablespoon of cheese onto each piece of chicken, and sprinkle basil on top of cheese. Fold chicken in half. Place folded breast halves in an 8-inch square baking dish coated with cooking spray. Place a few slices of butter or margarine on the top of each chicken breast. Bake at 400° for 25 minutes or until done.
