Super juicy balsamic glazed feta baked chicken stuffed with fresh tomato, Italian seasponing, and warm feta. This healthy dinner recipe is incredibly tasty and easy to make.
Preheat oven to 400°F and pat your chicken breasts dry with paper towels.
Use a sharp knife to cut a pocket into the middle of each chicken breast, about 3/4 quarters of the way through. Be careful not to cut it all the way.
Generously season the outside and pocket of the chicken with the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Evenly stuff each chicken breast with 1 or 2 slices of tomato and about 2 Tablespoons of crumbled feta. Use a toothpick to secure the chicken breasts, if necessary.
Heat a saute pan with olive oil to medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken breast to the pan and cook each side for 2 minutes.
Meanwhile, as the chicken cooks, combine the minced garlic cloves and balsamic vinegar in a small bowl.
Once the chicken is done, pour the balsamic mixture over each chicken breast. Bring to a simmer and gently spoon over each chicken bread until the vinegar has slightly thickened to a glaze. This should take an additional 2 - 3 minutes.
Carefully transfer the pan to the oven and continue to cook for 15 - 20 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through or reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes.
Spoon extra balsamic reduction on top and serve with a side salad or your favorite roasted vegetable. Enjoy!
