    1. Rinse the chicken breasts (you'll need 4 pieces here) thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel. Cut away any bones and trim off all the fat. With a wide knife, cut a slit into the thick side of each piece to make a pocket — but don't cut all the way through. 2. Cut the feta into small pieces. Rinse the mint and dry it on a paper towel. Open up the pocket in each piece of chicken and tuck in 2-3 pieces of feta and 5-6 mint leaves, nudging them together with a toothpick. Stuff all the remaining pieces the same way. 3. Put all the stuffed pieces in a bowl and drizzle with the olive oil and lemon juice. Finely chop the remaining mint and scatter it over the chicken. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. 4. Let the chicken marinate in the bowl for 20 minutes. Then flip the pieces over and let them marinate for another 10-15 minutes. 5. Preheat the oven to 300-325°F (150-160°C). 6. Pour the leftover olive-oil marinade into a skillet. Heat the pan and add the stuffed chicken one or two pieces at a time (depending on the size of the pan). Over medium heat, sear each piece for 2 minutes per side, until a nice golden crust forms. 7. Transfer the seared chicken to a baking sheet or dish and put it in the preheated oven for 4-5 minutes. That's all it takes for the Czech-style chicken to finish. Serve it hot, garnished with fresh mint leaves and slices of cucumber. Enjoy!
