I figure that since I am Greek, I should post a Greek inspired dish. This is definitely one of my family favorites! And like my friend Beth stated: "Anything w/ bacon is like heaven in your mouth."

Feta Cheese and Bacon Stuffed Breasts
8 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons lemon juice
4 cloves crushed garlic
1 tablespoon dried oregano
salt and pepper to taste
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
4 slices feta cheese
4 slices bacon, fried and drained
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
In a small bowl combine the oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper. Mix together and use as a marinade for the chicken. Marinade for at least 30 min.
Take chicken out of marinade. Pound each chicken breast out until thin. Top each chicken breast with 1 slice feta cheese and 1 slice bacon. Fold over and secure open sides with toothpicks. Place in 9x13 baking dish.
Bake uncovered at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 to 35 minutes.
A cucumber and tomato salad tossed in olive oil, vinegar, oregano, salt and pepper goes great with this dish.
Oh Doula, you know this is one I'm going to have to try. It's so true about bacon & feta is just divine.
