Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp. Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
• 1 tsp. dried Thyme 
• 1 tsp. Red Pepper Flakes 
• 1 (7oz.) jar Artichoke Hearts, drained, rinsed, chopped 
• 1 tsp. Garlic, minced 
• 3 oz. Feta Cheese
• 3 tbsp. oil-packed Sun-dried Tomatoes, drained, minced
• 2 tbsp. Fresh Basil, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup Fresh Dill Sprigs, removed the stem 
• 1/2 cup chopped Spinach 
• 4 boneless, skinless Chicken Breasts, halved

Directions: 

1. Rinse chicken breasts under cold water and pat dry.
2. Place each breast between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and gently beat with a mallet to flatten to 1/4 inch. 
3. Warm 1 Tbsp. olive oil, thyme, and red pepper flakes, in a medium-sized, saute pan, over medium-high heat for 1-2 minutes. 
4. Then add artichoke hearts, garlic, and pepper and cook for 3-4 minutes, occasionally stirring. 
5. Remove pan from heat and add feta cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, basil, and dill, then mix to evenly distribute ingredients and allow the stuffing to cool. 
6. Spread the inside of each chicken breast with 1/4 of the stuffing. Fold the chicken breasts in half over the stuffing and use toothpicks to hold them closed. 
7. Brush each side of the chicken with the remaining olive oil and season with garlic and pepper. 
8. Grill breasts over direct medium heat until meat juices run clear and the cheese is melted (8-12 minutes) turning once. 
9. Remove from the grill and carefully remove the toothpicks. 
10. Serve and enjoy
