Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Preheat oven to 375 F.
- Pound chicken breasts flat*-they should uniformly be about 3/8-inch thick.
- Combine 3 tablespoons of minced herbs with garlic and 1/3 of the cheese.
- Lay out breasts with what was the skin-side down, lightly season breasts with salt and pepper then spread half of cheese/herb mixture on each breast, roll up, and either tie with twine or pin with toothpicks.
- Heat oil in a medium cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat, then, treating the breasts as though they're 3-sided, brown on 2 sides-about 3 minutes per side. Turn unbrowned side down and place skillet in the oven on the middle rack and cook for another 6 to 8 minutes.
- Remove skillet from oven and place breasts on a plate and tent with foil.
- Being very careful of the hot handle, add wine to the cast-iron skillet over medium heat and scrape up browned bits. Reducing wine by about half.
- Add half and half and bring to a simmer. Add remaining herbs (reserving a couple of pinches for a final garnish), feta, white pepper to taste, and lemon juice. Cook for about 30 seconds.
- Plate chicken breasts, removing twine or toothpicks, pour the sauce over them and sprinkle with a final pinch of herbs. (For a colorful and nutrient-rich meal, you might want to serve this with roasted cherry tomatoes, microgreens, fresh peas, and either orzo , couscous or rice.)
- Serve and enjoy.

CHICKEN ATHENA
Found this recipe in Bon Appetit Too Busy to Cook. I don't always have aniseed and ouzo around but the combination is intoxicating! Great accompanied by orzo.

ATHENA'S KOTO KAPAMA (GREEK STEWED CHICKEN)
This Greek recipe is a favorite dish of Chef Cat Cora. It is probably not the actual recipe she grew up with since it's from a local Greek restaurant.

Steps:
- Mix salt, pepper and cinnamon in small bowl; rub chicken pieces with salt mixture.

Steps:
- Brown meat in oil, add onion and cook 2 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, rosemary and artichoke marinade. Cook over medium heat 10 -15 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in artichoke hearts. Serve over angel hair pasta. Top with feta cheese. • I also use mushrooms and capers. I sauté the mushrooms with the meat and onion and I add the capers at the end with the artichoke hearts. • I use two can of tomatoes instead of one to give more sauce
