Servings: persons

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
½ cup cream cheese (filling starts here)
½ cup shredded colby cheese
2 teaspoons lemon juice
optional feta (to taste)
¼ teaspoon dried marjoram
¼ teaspoon dried Italian herb seasoning
1 ½ teaspoons fresh dill
½ cup chia seeds (coating starts here)
1 tablespoon quinoa flour (or all-purpose flour)
¼ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon dried garlic
½ teaspoon dried marjoram
½ teaspoon dried Italian herb seasoning

1
Mix all the ingredients for the filling in a single bowl.
2
In another bowl add all the ingredients for the coating.
3
Mix well.
4
Optionally, you can use a mortar and grind the coating ingredients with a pestle.
5
If so move the mixture to another bowl that is more easily washed, once completed, so that you can dip the chicken into it later.
6
Slice chicken breasts partially, so there is an opening on only one side, making a pocket.
7
Stuff the filling into each of the chicken breasts.
8
To better close the pocket you can use a toothpick though I find the coating keeps it closed enough and haven't bothered.
9
If you have extra filling you can add it to the outside before coating the chicken.
10
Coat each chicken breast with the coating by dipping it into the bowl.
11
If you run out you can easily make more.
12
Add each coated piece of chicken to a baking dish.
13
If you didn't close the pocket then place it open side down to help prevent it from opening.
14
If you have leftover coating sprinkle it on top of the chicken.
15
Once completed bake it at 375 for 45 minutes to an hour or whenever the chicken is done.
