Caprese Stuffed Chicken Breast Recipe

INGREDIENTS

• 4 4-oz. boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 4 ounces of mozzarella cheese
• 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
• 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, jarred in olive oil (~1 oz)
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze*

INSTRUCTIONS

1. First, preheat oven to 375ºF and spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Next, prepare chicken breasts by laying them flat on a cutting board. Then, using a meat tenderizer, pound until the chicken flattens out and is the same thickness all around, about 1/2-inch thick.
3. Season both sides of chicken breast with salt and pepper, to taste.
4. Then, place about 1 oz. of mozzarella cheese, a few basil leaves, and a tablespoon of sun-dried tomatoes in the center of your chicken breast.
5. Roll chicken breast, packing it tightly and then secure 2 pieces of baker’s twine.
6. Place on baking sheet and drizzle each stuffed chicken breast with olive oil. Bake at 375ºF for about 30 – 40 minutes or until chicken is fully cooked.
7. Serve with a drizzle of balsamic glaze.
