Tonight we are doing a recipe that gets reserved for special occasions.  Cancel the reservations!  By far, this is the best recipe we make!  It's called "Feta Cheese and Bacon Stuffed Chicken Breasts."

Money Savers:
Idaho Potatoes $2.99/ 5 lbs (save $1)
Green Giant canned green beans as low as $.40 a can!!! And it can be lower if you buy some different things in bulk!!! Check out polkadotpantry.com for details and more great deals through:

INGREDIENTS:
8 tbs olive oil
2 tsp lemon juice
4 cloves crushed garlic
1 tbs dried oregano
salt and pepper to taste
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
crumbled feta (one container)
4 slices of bacon, fried and drained

INSTRUCTIONS:
1.  Preheat the oven to 350.
2.  Combine the oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper.
3.  Place chicken in a 9 x 13 inch baking dish and pour oil mixture over chicken.
4.  Stuff each chicken breast with feta and one slice of bacon.  Secure open sides with toothpicks.
     **There are two ways to do this.  I typically use thin chicken and fold it in half.  If you have thicker chicken and skill, you can cut slits in the actual chicken.  I tend to be able to get more feta and bacon in every bite with it folded!
5.  Bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes.

I am making mashed potatoes, green beans, and rolls to go with this tonight!   (hence the money saver potatoes and green beans) Have a great Valentine's Day! :-*
