Feta Chicken and Vegetables

Crumbled feta cheese and fresh vegetable strips bring the flavor of the Mediterranean to the table in no time with this quick all-in-one dish.

Makes 4 servings.

Ingredients:

1 Tb crushed Medifast Multigrain Crackers 
1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram or thyme 
1/4 teaspoon black pepper 
1/8 teaspoon salt 
2 (6-ounce) skinned, boned chicken breast halves 
1 teaspoon olive oil 
5 sprays of cooking spray 
1 cup red bell pepper strips 
1/2 cup vertically sliced red onion 
1/3 cup fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth 
1 teaspoon white wine vinegar 
1/4 cup (1 ounce) crumbled low fat feta cheese, divided 
Oregano sprigs (optional) 

Preparation:

Combine first 4 ingredients in a shallow dish. Dredge chicken in flour mixture. Heat oil in a nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Add chicken, and cook 4 minutes on each side or until browned. Remove chicken from pan; keep warm. Add bell pepper, onion, broth, and vinegar to pan; cook 5 minutes or until vegetables are soft, stirring frequently. 

Spoon bell pepper mixture into a bowl; stir in 2 tablespoons cheese. Return chicken to pan, and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons cheese. Cover; cook over low heat 2 minutes or until cheese melts. Divide the vegetable mixture evenly between 2 plates, and top each serving with a chicken breast half. 

Garnish with oregano sprigs, if desired.
