• 3 Tablespoons olive oil
• Kosher salt and black pepper

Preparation

Step 1

1. Heat oven to 400° F with the racks in the upper and lower thirds. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss the broccoli and potatoes with 2 tablespoons of the oil, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Roast on the bottom rack, tossing once, until golden brown and tender, 18 to 20 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together the red peppers and Feta. Season the chicken with ¼ teaspoon each salt and black pepper. Dividing evenly, roll up the red pepper mixture in the cutlets (about 1 heaping tablespoon each) and fasten each closed with a toothpick.

3. Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken, seam-side up, until browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn the chicken, transfer the skillet to the top rack, and roast until cooked through, 14 to 16 minutes more. Remove the toothpicks. Serve the chicken with the vegetables, sprinkled with the parsley.

REVIEWS:

My husband and I really enjoyed this. I couldn't find chicken cutlets at my local grocery store, so I used thin-sliced chicken breast tenders instead. I used low-fat feta cheese to cut on calories, but I think it sacrificed a bit of flavor (I guess this goes without saying!). The broccoli and potatoes were absolutely delicious. I can't wait to make this again!

My family loved this recipe. We have some picky eaters so I substituted a lower fat ricotta cheese with herbs and spices in place of the feta and peppers. Still delicious! It took a little longer to cook in the oven than it says but it was worth it. Be sure not to overstuff your chicken as it will all cook out. Definitely a hit!
