By vickysue_4

Ingredients

• 8 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice
• 4 cloves crushed garlic
• 1 tablespoon dried oregano
• a little bit of rosemary
• salt and pepper to taste
• 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
• feta cheese, either crumbles or slices
• 4 slices bacon, cooked

Preparation

Step 1

Marinade the chicken beforehand, for however long you want, but at least 1 hour in the refrigerator before cooking.
Marinade: (In a small bowl)
Mix oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, rosemary, salt and pepper.
Take each chicken breast and trim the fat off, then butterfly them down the center but don't cut all the way through.
Get out two pieces of plastic wrap and put 1 chicken breast between the two. Pound out the chicken thin, but not too thin, making sure not to tear it. Place it into a gallon zip lock bag/ container and do the same thing for the rest of the chicken breasts. Pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure each breast is coated and seal/cover, then place into the fridge.

After marinating, pour into a 9x13 entire marinade/chicken contents.
Take each chicken breast and straighten out, placing 1 piece of bacon and feta cheese on half, take the bare half and fold over on top of the cheese/bacon- you can secure with toothpicks or leave as is.
Do the same for the remaining chicken breasts.
Place into a 350 degree oven for 50 minutes.

You can wrap each breast in a piece of raw bacon on the outside before cooking. It doesn't really add any flavor, but you can impress your guests and family. It looks fancy with it tied on the outside. If you've never had or cooked with Feta cheese, it is so yummy!
