Insta-Chicken that's Picture Worthy...

My roommate and I have been experimenting with lots of yummy dinners and last night was definitely a proud moment!  We decided on chicken breast stuffed with a delicious feta mixture.  It turned out amazing!  I could say more but I'll let instagram tell the rest...

No kidding, this took us less than 30 mins from start to finish...we added a side of grilled zucchini and squash for some extra veggies :)


Insta-Chicken:

2 boneless, skinless, halved chicken breasts, flattened with a mallet (I used my cast iron skillet! haha)
1/2 cup feta cheese
2 cups arugula and spinach
1 small bunch fresh basil, julienne
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1tbsp olive oil
4 to 5 sun dried tomatoes, re-hydrated
salt and pepper to taste


  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees
  2. Boil 1 cup of water, remove from heat, and add SD tomatoes.  Let soak for 5 mins.  Remove  them from water and finely chop.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine feta, arugula/spinach, basil, garlic, olive oil, and chopped SD tomatoes, salt and pepper.
  4. Once chicken is flattened, take a (sharp!) knife and cut a deep slit in each half (see picture above).
  5. Divide feta mixture in half and stuff into each chicken breast.
  6. Drizzle about 1/2 tsp olive oil onto top of each piece of chicken and rub on a dash of salt and pepper.
  7. Bake chicken in oven for about 20 minutes or until done.
That's really it!! It comes out looking fancy and beautiful.  It is a "nutritious and delicious" dinner that will have any guest ooo-ing and awww-ing (They don't have to know how easy it was ;))

After dinner we satisfied our chocolate craving with Zico's NEW Chocolate Coconut Water.  THIS STUFF IS AMAZING!  It tastes exactly like chocolate milk but only has 110 calories per bottle and as much potassium as 1 banana. It seriously tastes better than any soy, almond, or regular choco milk out. there  I think I'm in love :)
