Feta,season with black pepper,then press together
firmly to seal.

heat.Add chicken & fry gently for 4-5 mins on each side.

smooth sauce.Bring to the boil then add the parsley.

for 30 mins,turning once or twice.

Glad you enjoyed this,I'll try adding somegarlic my self next time I make it.I must say that a glass of retsina does govery well with it.
Yes, very good, couldn't resist adding a little garlic being a greek dish. Wish I'd had a bottle of Retsina to accompany it. Ah well, memories.
Looks good and simple to make this.I seem to have all the ingredients so I'll let you know after Sunday Dinner
