This dish was really good. Very filling, simple ingredients and easy to make. Only weirdness I ran into was finding fresh basil. I had to check 3 different grocery stores for it and ended up with the last pack at the store that finally had it in stock. Not sure why there was such a shortage of fresh basil in Fresno. Guess I could have bought the little basil plant to grow my own, but I'm not sure it would have been ready in time.
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- sliced mozzarella cheese
- grape tomatoes, sliced in half
- fresh basil leaves
- 2 tsp Italian seasoning
- salt and pepper
- 2 tsp olive oil
Place chicken breasts on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, cut slits across the chicken breast about 3/4 of the way through, being careful not to cut all the way through. Depending on the size of your chicken breast, you will need 6-8 slits per breast.Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Stuff each slit with a slice of cheese, half a tomato, and a basil leaf. Place chicken in a greased baking dish. Brush each chicken with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Bake for 30 minutes, or until cooked through.
