Ingredients
- 4 (6 ounces each) boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup, chopped sun-dried tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons, finely chopped fresh basil
- 1 tablespoon, finely chopped fresh oregano
- 1/4 cup, grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. Using a sharp knife, carefully split each chicken breast horizontally to create a pocket without cutting through, then season inside with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper.
- Step 2: Mix together 1/4 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes, 2 tablespoons fresh basil, 1 tablespoon fresh oregano, and 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese. Spoon 2 tablespoons of mixture into each chicken pocket and fold to seal.
- Step 3: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear stuffed chicken for 3 minutes per side until golden brown. Pour 1/4 cup chicken broth around chicken, transfer skillet to oven, and bake for 18 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
