Calories: 245 (entire meal 302)


INGREDIENTS:
1 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast (I use Perdue Tender and Tasty frozen chicken..thaw first)

Pepper

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. Lay chicken breast flat. Make incision lengthwise down center. Don't cut all the way through, shallow cut. 
3. Make perpendicular cuts to the left and right inside the chicken, creating a T-shaped pocket
4. Put Feta in the pocket, tuck it in so that its spread out as much as possible inside the breast.
5. Put some of the allotted cranberry sauce inside the pocket (about 1/3 of it)
6. Lightly sprinkle salt and pepper on chicken breast and place in glass baking dish
7. Smear the rest of the allotted cranberry sauce on top of the breast.
8. Place in oven and bake for 20-30 minutes until done.
