ingredients

1 cup canned cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
3 tablespoons choped mixed olives
coarse salt
ground pepper
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons olive oil

directions

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Using a fork, mash beans, garlic and olives in a medium bowl until chunky. Season with pepper, and salt if desired.
Using a paring knife, create a pocket in the center of each chicken breast by inserting the tip into the thickest part and cutting a horizontal opening, leaving about 1 inch uncut on each end. Be careful not to cut all the way through. Using a spoon, stuff 1/4 cup bean mixture into each pocket.
Pour oil into large ovenproof dish, and arrange b reasts in a single layer, skin side up, turning to coat with oil. Season with salt and pepper, and roast until an instant read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 160 degrees. Bake 35 to 40 minutes.

Hi! My name is Terri. I have been happily married for 28 years to Jim. We have 3 children, 2 girls and 1 boy. I have a grandaughter, Delilah. She is 18 months old. We live in a rural area. We are animal lovers. We have 8 dogs, 6 cats, 2 rabbits and we have lots of ducks and geese. I love to cook and love to try new recipes. My favorite cookbook is an old Betty Crocker Cookbook that I have had before I was married. I like to sew, crochet and to do crafts. I am a 4-H Club Leader and I have a great group of kids this year. They keep me very busy and I wouldn't have it any other way. We do 3 fairs in the area. I also like to go to auctions, yard sales and I am always buying items from the kids that they are selling to raise money for school, church or a youth group. <img src="http://i490.photobucket.com/albums/rr266/Acadia/Banners/CoffeeTeaSwap3.jpg"> <img src="http://i490.photobucket.com/albums/rr266/Acadia/Banners/CoffeeTeaSwap2-1.jpg"> <img src="http://i490.photobucket.com/albums/rr266/Acadia/Banners/CoffeeTeaSwap2-1.jpg"> <img src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y227/vjuhl/MEPcookathon.jpg"> imghttp://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii116/luecke/i-recommend-participant.jpg <img src="http://i490.photobucket.com/albums/rr266/Acadia/Banners/CoffeeTeaSwap2-1.jpg"> [img]http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii116/luecke/i-recommend-participant.jpg[/img]
