Feta-Stuffed Chicken

breezermom's Note:

This dish can be prepared and on the table in under an hour. I love feta cheese, and the drizzle of olive oil and balsamic vinegar just before serving really sets this recipe up! Quick and easy, but delicious! Credit goes to Lisa Herbert.

Very good plus easy! Really enjoyed the melted cheese in the middle and the sauce. Thanks breezermom for sharing.

This was one dinner that won't soon be forgotten. I loved everything about this and will be passing it on to my friends to try. Something different from the same old thing. We really enjoyed it! The vinegar and oil really topped it off for us!

Sooooo good! I made my own feta/sun dried feta mix, as our grocers do not carry that blend. I am sorry to say, that I totally forgot about the sauce. I'm sure it would have sent the dish right over the top. It was superb even without it. Next time for sure. Also, no fresh basil on hand for the tomato garnish, so used parsley.
