MEDITERRANEAN STUFFED CHICKEN

Ingredients
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup sundried tomatoes in olive oil, chopped
1/4 cup kalamata olives, finely chopped
1 tablespoon capers
1 (14.5 oz.) can diced tomatoes
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
Salt and pepper

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  In a medium bowl, combine feta, mozzarella, sundried tomatoes, olives and capers.  Carefully cut a horizontal slit into each chicken breast to form a pocket.  Stuff each breast with equal amounts of the tomato and olive mixture.  Place stuffed chicken into a lightly greased baking dish; season with salt and pepper.  Stir together diced tomatoes and balsamic vinegar and pour over chicken.  Bake, uncovered, for 35-40 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.

Let's Dish
I came up with this recipe when I had some odds and ends in the refrigerator that I wanted to use.  It looks, and tastes, like one of those dishes you spent a lot of time on, but it's really pretty simple.  Regular olives are fine in place of the kalamata, although I really like the extra flavor they add.  And if you don't have any capers, it's find to leave them out.  I also like to use the fire roasted diced tomatoes, but any variety will work.  This is great with a green salad and some foccacia bread.
