Kalamata-Balsamic Chicken with Feta



Kalamata-Balsamic Chicken with Feta

Feta cheese is one of my favorite things, as is olives. When I saw this recipe, it was sure to be a winner. I have dreams of eating my way through Greece.  The olives, tomatoes and feta compliment each other perfectly.  A sure winner for us. Happy Tasting!

What you need:
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Cooking Spray
1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
16 pitted kalamata olives, halved
3 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese
2 tablespoons small basil leaves

Directions:
1. Sprinkle chicken evenly with pepper.
2. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Cook chicken 6-7 minutes on each side, or until done. Transfer chicken to a serving platter, keep warm.
3. While chicken cooks, combine tomatoes, olives, and vinaigrette in a medium bowl.
4. Add tomato mixture to pan; cook 1 to 2 minutes or until tomatoes soften. Spoon over chicken. Top evenly with cheese and basil.
