Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a blender or food processor, combine the dates, almonds, honey, 1 tbsp olive oil, and lemon juice until well mixed.

Cut a pocket in each chicken breast without cutting all the way through. Spoon some of the stuffing into each breast.

Place the chicken breasts into a casserole dish. Drizzle with remaining olive oil, sprinkle with garlic salt, black pepper, rosemary and thyme. Finish off with a bit more lemon juice and drizzle each breast with a bit more honey (to your liking).

Cover the dish and bake for 20 minutes. Uncover and bake until the chicken is brown, about 10 minutes.
