Grilled Chicken Breast with Red Wine & Feta Cheese

Red and I always buy this big pack of chicken breast (10-12/pack). So we always try to find a creative way to cook them. This was the recipe that Red thought of today.

Grilled Chicken Breast with Red-Wine and Feta Cheese

3 chicken breast
6 strips of center-cut bacon
1/3 c. of feta cheese

Marinade:
2 c. of red wine (we used a dry German wine)
1/2 c. of extra-virgin olive oil
2 tbsp of pure honey
one clove of garlic, minced
2 tbsp of Herbs du Provence (can be obtained from grocery store)

  • Mix in the marinade ingredients together.
  • Flatten the chicken breast to about 1/2 inch. thickness and soak in the marinade for at least an hour.
  • Remove chicken from the marinade and place on a flat surface (such as cutting board).
  • Place two strips of bacon under each chicken breast, sprinkle cheese on top, and roll them. Secure them with two toothpicks. Repeat the process for all of them.
  • Grill them for about 15 minutes, turning approximately every five minutes, until the juices run clear.
  • Serve them with vegetables or salad.
Yield: 3 servings
