• 3  tablespoons olive oil
•  seasoning, of choice

Directions

1. Slice open each breast to make a pocket for stuffing, I usually make the pocket between the breast front and the tenderloing part pushing back as far as i can without going all the way through.
2. Season outside with your favorite seasonings I prefer Cavendar's greek seasoning it is very mild and is better than just salt and pepper.
3. rice is already cooked so just mix with tomatoes and cheese throughly.
4. OVERstuff chicken breasts with rice mixture (secure with toothpicks if desired).
5. In skillet over medium high heat quickly brown the outside of chicken in olive oil.
6. Spraying the shallow baking dish with butter flavored pam adds to the dish. layer extra rice in dish and then place brown chicken atop rice, sprinkle chicken with lemon juice if desired. cover well with foil.
7. Bake for 30 minutes at 350 remove foil and backe additional 20 mintues or until chicken is done.
8. Serve over small bed of remaining rice alongside of steam asparagus or broccoli or a garden salad.
