Stuffed Chicken Breasts
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 small slices of Greek feta
1 teaspoon fresh mint, chiffonnade
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided use
1 tablespoon virgin olive oil
kosher salt and ground white pepper
1 shallot, thinly sliced
1/2 cup freshly squeezed blood orange juice
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional)
Gremolata
2 teaspoons fresh mint, minced
1 teaspoon blood orange zest
1/2 teaspoon thinly sliced fresh garlic

1
Carefully cut a slot in each breast and widen with fingers. Insert a slice of cheese and chopped mint. Secure with wooden toothpicks. (This keeps the cheese from seeping into the pan.) In a medium-sized skillet, melt one tablespoon of butter and the olive oil. Cook chicken until done, at medium heat, about 5 minutes per side, depending on the size of the pieces. Remove chicken and keep warm.
2
Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter and saute shallot until it softens. Add juice, zest and cream. Crank up the heat for about 5 minutes until mixture thickens slightly. At this point, add the cornstarch, if so desired, and whisk for a thicker sauce. Return chicken to pan, simmer and turn pieces at least once - cover.
3
Combine ingredients.
4
Serve chicken atop whole wheat couscous and plate. Sauce each portion and garnish with thin twists of citrus and a sprig of mint.
