Chicken breast gets a bad rep for being bland and boring, perhaps deservingly so. On it's own, it doesn't have a lot of taste. But stuff it with Greek salad-inspired ingredients, and you've got an insanely flavorful and fun weeknight dinner. We used feta, onion, and tomatoes (rather traditional ingredients) but took liberties by replacing cucumber with zucchini and adding mozzarella for extra creaminess. As for the technique? We looked to one of our all-time faves: Primavera Stuffed Chicken. The trick to both is cutting the veggies super thin. If you've got a mandoline, now's the time to use it!

Directions
- Step 1Preheat oven to 400º. Place chicken on a cutting board and make 5 slits in each breast, being careful not to cut through completely. Transfer to a small baking sheet.
- Step 2In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, dill, parsley, and garlic. Drizzle over chicken breasts, making sure olive oil mixture gets in the slits. Season with salt and pepper.
- Step 3Stuff each chicken breast with zucchini, tomatoes, red onion, and lemons. Sprinkle crumbled feta and mozzarella on top.
- Step 4Bake until chicken is cooked through and no longer pink, about 25 minutes. Garnish with more dill and parsley. Serve warm.
