  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam

Ingredients

– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 cup roasted red peppers, chopped
– 1 cup fresh mozzarella cheese, shredded
– 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Toothpicks or kitchen twine for securing chicken


Instructions

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

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare Chicken: Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap. Pound them gently with a meat mallet until they are about 1/2 inch thick.
3. Season Chicken: Season both sides of the chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
4. Mix Filling: In a bowl, combine the chopped roasted red peppers, mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, and fresh basil. Mix until well combined.
5. Stuff the Chicken: Place a generous amount of the filling mixture in the center of each chicken breast. Fold the chicken over to enclose the filling.
6. Secure Chicken: Use toothpicks or kitchen twine to secure the edges of the chicken, ensuring the filling stays inside during cooking.
7. Sear Chicken: In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the stuffed chicken breasts and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
8. Bake: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
9. Rest the Chicken: Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before removing the toothpicks or twine.
10. Serve: Slice the chicken and serve it with your choice of sides.
