Ingredients

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 8 to 10 slices mozzarella cheese
  • 5 to 6 grape tomatoes sliced in half
  • Fresh basil leaves
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • Salt and Pepper
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil

Instructions

  • Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, cut slits across the chicken breast about ¾ of the way through being careful not to cut all the way through.
  • Depending on the size of your chicken breast, you're going to want around 6 to 8 slits per chicken breast.
  • Stuff each slit with a slice of mozzarella cheese, half a grape tomato and a basil leaf.
  • Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish that has been coated with non-stick baking spray.
  • Brush each chicken breast with olive oil.
  • Sprinkle each chicken breast with salt, pepper and Italian seasoning.
  • Bake in a preheated 400°F oven for 30 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 160°F.
