3 red peppers, halved with the seeds removed
1/2 cup roasted macadamian nuts

4 large chicken breasts
8T red pepper spread
4T feta cheese

To cook the chicken, preheat the oven to 180C. Line a roasting tin with foil, allowing enough foil to remain in order to cover the chicken in a parcel. Cut the one side of the chicken breast open. Place the chicken breasts on the foil. Stuff each breast with 2T pepper spread, 1T feta and 1T butter. Secure closed with a toothpick at each end. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt a pepper. Close the foil as if it was an envelope Bake for 40 minutes. Check if cooked through and serve with potato bake and salad.

Add some olives to each breast to change the flavour.
Use oven dried tomatoes instead of peppers, and replace the parsley with basil.
