This recipe comes from my sister-in-law, who served this one visit. I’m a big fan of chicken, and when done right is delicious. This is crunchy on the outside, tender on the inside, and creamy in the middle. Your family will ask for this dish again and again.
Ingredients
4 chicken breasts
1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
1/4 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
3/4 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon lemon pepper
1 egg
2 tablespoons milk
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
Mix together the crumbled feta, walnuts, and parsley and set aside. Mix together the flour, salt, and pepper on a piece of parchment paper. Set aside for dredging.
Pound the chicken breast between two plastic sheets until it is 1/4” in thickness. Place 1/4 of the feta mix in the middle, and using the plastic wrap, fold it over to seal. Keep together with toothpicks. Repeat for the other three breasts.
Mix the egg with the milk. Dip the prepared chicken rolls into the egg mixture and then roll in the flour mixture. Refrigerate until you are ready to cook.
Heat the oil and butter on medium-high heat in a frying pan. Once heated, place the chicken breasts in the pan and fry for 5 to 7 minutes per side until golden brown. Serve warm with your favorite side dish.
Serves 3 to 4.
