Feta Chicken Bake

The other day I went to Kraft's South Beach Diet website and found several recipes sounded like potential winners. This one called for a minimal amount of ingredients, but because of the feta and red peppers I thought it would still pack some great flavors.

Feta Chicken Bake (6 servings at 5 points a piece)

Ingredients :

6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (2 lb)
2 Tbsp lemon juice, divided
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 pkg (3.5 oz) reduced fat crumbled feta cheese with basil and tomato
1/4 cup finely chopped red pepper
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Arrange chicken in 13x9-inch baking dish.

Drizzle with 1 Tbsp lemon juice. Season with salt and black pepper. Top with cheese, and drizzle with remaining 1 Tbsp lemon juice.

Bake 35 to 40 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through. Sprinkle with red pepper and parsley.

The husband actually made this dish. He said it was a good dish to make because it was so easy to put together, and there was minimal chopping (he's not one for chopping). The dish turned out great, and the chicken was extremely tender. The cheese and peppers mixed their flavors nicely with the chicken too. This is a great dish for when a short prep time is a must.
