Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Season chicken breasts with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper. Make a pocket in each breast and stuff with rice, sun-dried tomatoes, parsley, garlic, lemon zest, and 1/2 tsp salt. Close pockets and secure with kitchen twine.
  2. Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side until golden. Transfer to oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  3. Step 3: In a small bowl, whisk lemon juice, dill, remaining 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper. Drizzle over cooked chicken and serve immediately.
