Instructions

Make the filling

Roughly chop the sun-dried tomatoes. Drain the olive oil into a bowl. Mix the sun-dried tomatoes, crumbled feta cheese, zaatar, and sumac with two tablespoons of the reserved olive oil.

Roll

Place two full tablespoons of feta mixture on each thigh, evenly dispersing the remaining filling among the thighs as needed. Roll the thighs and secure with two toothpicks if needed.

Bake

Place the thighs in a baking pan. Drizzle the rest of the reserved olive oil over the thighs and season with zaatar. If you have any leftover filling, scatter it between the thighs. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 15 minutes. Stick a meat thermometer into the fattest part of the largest stuffed thigh; it should be at 74°C / 165°F for the chicken to be fully cooked. Continue to bake for a few minutes more, measuring the temp as you go.If the chicken is browning too quickly, cover it loosely with aluminum foil.

Serve

Remove the toothpicks, if using any, and serve with a drizzle of the sauce gathered in the pan.

Notes

Chicken: You may use chicken breasts. Slice the breast in half, creating a pocket. Add the filling, season, and bake until the chicken is fully cooked and the juices run clear.
