I’ve always been in love with Greek flavors. Olives and feta cheese are probably two of my favorite things. Pair those with balsamic mushrooms and onions, and you’ve got one amazing chicken dish. And, yes, I served this over grits. I’m Southern. What...

Tips & Tricks
Make sure to marinate the chicken for at least 3 hours to allow the flavors to penetrate fully.
Use baker's twine to securely wrap the chicken and prevent the stuffing from spilling out during cooking.
For a richer flavor, use high-quality balsamic vinegar and fresh feta cheese.
Serve the chicken over creamy grits for a Southern twist that complements the Greek flavors.
