Thanks to Kelly for sharing this one!

Kelly's Famous Greek Chicken

Description:
This is so yummy. I'm going to upload it as it read with the caveat that it's a bit difficult to make and eat if you do it with drumsticks. Next time, I'm either going to put the stuffing in regular chicken breasts or wrap a chicken breast and the stuffing inside a puff pastry and bake it. (Also, I couldn't find the sun-dried tomatoes in my grocery, so I just used a regular fat tomato and it was still great. And I don't like red onions, so I used a yellow one.)

Ingredients:
Feta-Pesto Stuffing (below)4 chicken quarters (drumsticks or thigh), about 1.5 lbs.1/4 tsp. salt1/8 tsp. pepper2 tbs. lemon juice1 tbs. olive or veg oilFeta-Pesto Stuffing 1/2 cup boiling water4 sun-dried tomatoes (not in oil)1/2 cup crumbled feta chees1/2 cup chopped red onion1 tbs. pesto sauce

Directions:
Heat oven to 400. Make Feta-Pesto Stuffing (Pour water over tomatoes; let stand for 5 minutes. Drain tomatoes thoroughly and chop. Mix cheese, onion, pesto and tomotoes.) Gently loosen skin from chicken quarters, using fingers. Spread one-fourth of the stuffing between meat and skin of each chicken quarter. Place chicken, stuffing side up, in ungreased rectangular pan, 13x9x2 inches. Sprinkle with salt and pepper; drizzle with lemon juice and oil. Bake uncovered about 45 minutes or until juice of chicken is no longer pink when centers of thickest pieces are cut.

Number Of Servings: 4
Preparation Time: Less than 15 minutes
