Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- 2
Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning now and then, until evenly browned but still soft, 5 to 7 minutes. Let the bacon cool on a paper towel-lined plate; keep the grease in the skillet.
- 3
Combine the cooled bacon with feta cheese, 3 tablespoons sour cream, oregano, and black pepper in a small bowl and mix until well blended; set aside.
- 4
Lay the chicken breasts flat on a clean work surface. Using the tip of a sharp boning or paring knife, cut a 2-inch pocket in each chicken breast. Spoon the bacon mixture into the pockets.
- 5
Place the flour, bread crumbs, and beaten eggs in separate shallow dishes. Dredge a chicken breast in the flour and shake off the excess. Dip it into the beaten eggs and lift to let excess egg drip back into the dish. Press into the bread crumbs to coat both sides. Repeat with the remaining chicken breasts.
- 6
Reheat the grease in the skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken breasts in the hot grease until browned on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. Keep the grease in the skillet. Move the chicken breasts to a baking dish.
- 7
Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is no longer pink and the filling is hot, 20 to 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted in the center should register at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
- 8
Meanwhile, put the potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain.
- 9
While the potatoes cook, cook and stir the onion in the remaining grease in the skillet over medium heat until very tender and golden brown, about 10 minutes.
- 10
Place the cooked potatoes in a large bowl. Add the onion, the remaining 3 tablespoons sour cream, and the butter; mix well. Serve alongside the stuffed chicken breasts.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
