  • Stuff chicken. Divide the filling into the chicken breasts and fold the breast over the filling to form a “pocket” (you can use toothpicks to keep everything together). Add bell pepper (1), olives (1/2 cup), and sliced lemon to the pan and brush the tops of the veggies and chicken with olive oil.
