Mediterranean Stuffed Chicken Breasts

Ingredients

1/2  large red bell pepper

1/4  cup  (1 ounce) crumbled reduced fat feta cheese

2  tablespoons  finely chopped pitted kalamata olives

1  tablespoon  minced fresh basil 1/2 teaspoon dried basil

2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts

Salt & pepper

Directions

Preheat broiler. Cut bell pepper in half lengthwise; discard seeds and membranes. Place pepper halves, skin sides up, on a foil-lined baking sheet; flatten with hand. Broil 15 minutes or until blackened. Place in a zip-top plastic bag; seal. Let stand 15 minutes. Peel and finely chop.

Prepare grill to medium-high heat. Combine bell pepper, cheese, and basil. Cut a horizontal slit through thickest portion of each chicken breast half to form a pocket. Stuff approximately 2 tablespoons bell pepper mixture into each pocket; close opening with a wooden pick. Sprinkle chicken with salt and black pepper to taste. Place chicken on a grill rack coated with cooking spray. Grill 6 minutes on each side or until done. Remove from grill; cover loosely with foil, and let stand 10 minutes.
