EL GRECO CHICKEN 
5 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 stick butter
1 bunch chives, chopped
1 sm. bunch chopped cilantro
2 cloves garlic, minced
3/4 c. flour
Plastic or paper bag
4-5 oz. Feta cheese (Swiss works well also)
Salt & pepper

In large skillet melt butter over medium heat. While butter is melting, put flour, salt and pepper into plastic bag, wash chicken breasts and put into bag, one at a time. When butter has melted and started to bubble, add the chives and cilantro and saute; add garlic. Slowly add chicken breasts to skillet; turn up heat a little to brown chicken. Turn when needed. Ladle the tops of the chicken breast with the chive/cilantro mixture as they cook. When breasts are done and tender, lower heat.

Top chicken breasts with Feta cheese, cover and cook on Low heat for 5 to 6 minutes.

I've made this twice. The first time, a few years ago, I did what the recipe indicated (although it doesn't say it, you put the flour in the bag and shake to coat the chicken). I used minced onion since I didn't have chives. It's absolutely delicious.

A couple of nights ago I found myself with leftover feta, some cilantro and a 1/2 lemon. I cooked some chicken on the George Foreman Grill and topped it with a mixture of lemon juice, feta, cilantro, garlic, salt and pepper and broiled it for a few minutes. I didn't measure since I was only doing two chicken breasts, but it was roughly the same ratios as indicated here. It was just as good and didn't have all the fat of this recipe. The lemon really helped replace some of the flavor lost by not using butter. It wasn't as "melty" but it was still fabulous, so I think I won't go back to using the butter.

For both versions, you could easily double the topping ingredients. It's delicious.
