  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 11 minute

Ingredients

– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 cup roasted red peppers, chopped
– 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
– 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
– 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (optional for topping)


Instructions

Creating Roasted Red Pepper Mozzarella Stuffed Chicken is straightforward if you follow these steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare Chicken: Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch thick.
3. Make Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the roasted red peppers, mozzarella cheese, cream cheese, and fresh basil. Mix until well combined.
4. Season Chicken: Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper on both sides of the chicken breasts.
5. Stuff the Chicken: Place a generous amount of the filling onto each chicken breast. Roll the chicken tightly around the filling and secure with toothpicks or kitchen twine.
6. Sear Chicken: In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the stuffed chicken and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
7. Bake: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
8. Optional Topping: For a crispy topping, sprinkle breadcrumbs over the chicken during the last 10 minutes of baking.
9. Rest: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
10. Slice and Serve: Carefully remove toothpicks or twine and slice the stuffed chicken to reveal the colorful filling.

Following these steps will ensure that your Roasted Red Pepper Mozzarella Stuffed Chicken turns out beautifully every time.
