I use this stuffing technique for chicken, steak and pork chops. Be creative about what you put inside: try sautéed spinach and mushrooms or capers, parsley and lemon zest.
Serves 4
6 sun dried tomatoes halves in oil, drained and chopped
2 ounces fresh mozzarella, chopped
10 large basil leaves, chopped
Zest from 1 lemon
2 8-ounce boneless, skinless chicken breasts, trimmed of extra fat
2 teaspoons olive oil
Salt and pepper
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a small bowl, mix together tomatoes, mozzarella, basil, and lemon zest. Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired.
Using a pairing knife, start a thickest part of chicken and make a pocket lengthwise in the chicken. Using fingers, stuff chicken with mozzarella filling. Repeat with remaining chicken breast. Season chicken with salt.
Heat a medium stainless steel skillet over medium high heat. Add olive oil and once hot, add chicken breasts. Sear on both sides until brown. Place chicken on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until centers are hot and reach 160 degrees on an instant read thermometer, about 15 to 20 minutes. Let chicken rest 5 minutes. Slice chicken into rounds and serve hot.

One chicken breast serves 2 people?? Funniest joke I have heard all day!!
looks good except the chicken does not looked cooked all the way
Wheres the seasoning? Chicken breast is already drier than other parts of
the chicken you have to make sure you season well besides a dash of salt
ugh
Great video production and recipe. Thanks.
Please for the love of god Take Off your Rings before Cooking! You are
going to take all that delicious bacteria from the chicken with all
everywhere you go!

I ate 3 of them
“One chicken serves two people”
Obviously she didnt get the memo
Bitch if i wanna eat one chicken breast all by myself i will. two people
serving my ass
I made this dish and it was wonderful, my mum loved it as well. However i
added my own touches to it! I sliced two onions and spread them on the
bottom of my oven-proof dish, then I placed the chicken on them. I also had
aluminium foil over my dish the entire time it was in the oven and
therefore my chicken was juicy when i took it out and due to the onions i
got some sauce on the botton of my dish which was yummy! I also didnt have
basilica to seal my chicken so I used toothpickes to due that which worked
perfectly!
That chicken looked slightly raw by texture…
Gonna try this tonight with some brown rice and spinach
“Now remember one chicken breast does serve two people.”
Lol.
Making this tonight.
