Mediterranean Stuffed Chicken

This is NOT veggie chicken people. Nope, this is the real thing and super delicious.

1/2 cup diced roasted red bell pepper (I used jarred to make life easier)
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/4 cup finely chopped pitted kalamata olives
1 - 2 TBS fresh minced basil
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper

1. Mix together the bell pepper, cheese, olives, basil and salt/ pepper
2. Butterfly the chicken breasts to create a pocket for the mixture
3. Gently spoon the pepper mixture into the pocket of chicken breast
4. Heat pan over medium-ish heat and add chicken
5. Cook 6 or so minutes on each side until chicken is fully cooked through and a beautiful golden brown. Some of the filling will spill out when flipping, but just scoop it back in or spoon it over the top before eating.

I served this with fresh green beans sauteed with olive oil, garlic and rosemary and dinner bread.
