How to Cook Chicken
- Prepare thin chicken breasts (if yours are thick - butterfly thick ones). Season the chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder and paprika. Don't add too much salt - feta cheese and bacon will add to the saltiness.
- Stuff seasoned chicken breasts with the filling. To do so, add filling onto a chicken filet, then roll the chicken around the stuffing. Secure the edges with the toothpicks.
- Add olive oil to the skillet. Once hot, add chicken breasts and brown on one side for 4 to 5 minutes. Then turn and brown on the other side. Cook until the internal temperature reaches 165 F by browning on all sides.
