Pesto Stuffed Chicken Breast

• 总时间: 32 minutes

配料

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

½ cup basil pesto

1 cup shredded mozzarella

½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp Italian seasoning

½ tsp garlic powder

½ tsp salt

½ tsp black pepper

2 tbsp chopped fresh basil or parsley

步骤

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Make a deep pocket in the thickest part of each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through.

Spread pesto inside each pocket and add mozzarella and a few cherry tomato halves.

Secure the opening with toothpicks if needed.

Brush the chicken with olive oil and season with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

Place the chicken in a baking dish and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) internally.

Let rest for 5 minutes, then garnish with fresh basil or parsley.
