Trader Joe's Chicken Breast Stuffed with Bacon & Feta

Category: Copy Cat Recipes (I have not tried all of these recipes)

1 tub TJ's Crumbled Feta Cheese
1 package TJ's Uncured Bacon, cooked and crumbled
6 TJ's Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts, pounded flat
Toothpicks or kitchen twine (or whatever you can find in your kitchen drawer)

1 tbsp TJ's Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tsp (each) TJ's Dried Oregano, Dried Basil
1 can (28 oz.) TJ's Diced Tomatoes & Juice From Can

Combine feta and bacon in a mixing bowl. Place 1/4 cup of the cheese/bacon mixture on the center of each chicken breast.
Fold breast over to enclose mixture; fasten with a toothpick or kitchen twine.
Heat a large saute pan and add oil.
Heat oil to medium and add stuffed breasts; turn breasts while cooking to brown on all sides.
Add tomatoes and seasoning to pan.
Lower heat to a simmer; cook about 15 - 20 minutes or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°.
Place chicken on a serving platter (remove toothpicks or twine) and spoon tomato sauce over.
Serves: 5 - 6
