bacon and feta stuffed chicken breasts
My daughter, Janice, gave me this recipe. I love Feta cheese, so I knew that this recipe would be a keeper for me. I would also add some chopped, squeezed spinach for something different.

Stuffing chicken breasts is an easy and delicious way to elevate a chicken dinner. These bacon and Feta stuffed chicken breasts are a recipe your entire family will enjoy. It's a touch smoky from the bacon, salty and tangy from the Feta cheese, and slightly sweet from chopped fresh basil. We really enjoyed the crispy pieces of bacon with the juicy chicken breasts.
