Step 1

In a small mixing bowl, stir together the filling ingredients and mash them together until well combined. Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

Step 3

Slice each of the chicken breasts approximately ¾ of the way through to form a small pocket.

Step 4

Stuff the chicken with the filling and use 2 toothpicks to weave the wedges of the chicken together to seal the chicken.

Step 5

Heat the olive oil in a large oven safe skillet or cast iron skillet over medium high heat.

Step 6

Add the chicken to the pan and season both sides of the chicken with the salt, pepper, oregano and thyme leaves.

Step 7

Brown both sides of the chicken for approximately 4-5 minutes per side until browned.

Step 8

Move the pan to the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.

Step 9

Remove the chicken from the oven. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes and then it’s ready to serve and enjoy!
