Stuffed Chicken Cutlets Recipe

Stuffed Chicken Cutlets Recipe

  • 8 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/2 cup jarred roasted red peppers, rinsed, patted dry, and coarsely chopped
  • 1/2 cup pitted Kalamata olives, coarsely chopped
  • 3 large scallions, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 16 (4 ounce) chicken cutlets
  • Coarse salt and ground pepper
  • 2 cups tomato sauce (optional)
  1. In a medium bowl, combine feta, peppers, olives, scallions, and oregano. Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
  2. Place cutlets on a flat surface, smooth side down. Spoon 2 tablespoons of feta mixture in center of each cutlet; fold up short sides over cheese, then long sides, making a packet. On baking sheet, arrange stuffed cutlets, seam side down (they should not touch); freeze until firm, about 1 hour. Wrap each in plastic; place in a resealable freezer bag; label, and date. Freeze up to 2 months.
  3. To bake: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line two large baking sheets with parchment. Unwrap frozen cutlets, and arrange, seam side down, on baking sheets; season with salt and pepper. Bake until chicken is opaque throughout, about 30 minutes. Serve 2 cutlets per person, topped, if desired, with tomato sauce. To bake without freezing: Decrease baking time by about 10 minutes.
