How to Make Sun-Dried Tomato Feta Stuffed Chicken
Step 1: Prepare the Chicken
- Using a sharp knife, slice each chicken breast horizontally to create a pocket, being careful not to cut all the way through.
- Season the outside of the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Step 2: Make the Filling
- In a small bowl, mix feta cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, basil, garlic, and cream cheese until well combined.
Step 3: Stuff the Chicken
- Spoon the filling evenly into each chicken breast pocket.
- Secure the edges with toothpicks to keep the filling inside while cooking.
Step 4: Cook the Chicken
- Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the stuffed chicken breasts and sear for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown.
- Cover the pan, reduce the heat to low, and cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Step 5: Serve & Enjoy
- Remove toothpicks (if used) and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
- Garnish with extra fresh basil and serve warm.
Serving Suggestions
- With Roasted Vegetables – Pair with asparagus, zucchini, or bell peppers.
- Over Garlic Butter Pasta – Serve with a side of angel hair pasta for a complete meal.
- With a Greek Salad – A fresh, crisp salad complements the Mediterranean flavors.
- With Cauliflower Rice – A great low-carb side option.
Tips for the Best Stuffed Chicken
- Don’t Overfill – Too much filling may cause it to spill out while cooking.
- Use a Meat Thermometer – Ensures the chicken is fully cooked without drying out.
- Sear First, Then Finish Cooking – This locks in juices and adds flavor.
- Make It Spicier – Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for extra heat.
Storage Instructions
- Refrigerate: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Freeze: Wrap individually and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw before reheating.
- Reheat: Warm in a skillet over low heat or in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q2: Can I use a different cheese?
Absolutely! Goat cheese, mozzarella, or ricotta make great alternatives.
Q3: What kind of sun-dried tomatoes should I use?
Both oil-packed and dry sun-dried tomatoes work, but oil-packed adds extra richness.
