Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup roasted red peppers, chopped
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • to taste Salt and pepper
  • for cooking drizzle Olive oil

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Take your chicken breasts and gently slice them horizontally, creating a pocket. Be careful not to cut all the way through.
Make the Filling
  1. In a bowl, combine the roasted red peppers, mozzarella cheese, chopped basil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix them well to allow the flavors to combine.
Stuff the Chicken
  1. Generously fill each chicken breast with the roasted red pepper mixture. Secure using toothpicks, if necessary. Drizzle olive oil over the top.
Cooking
  1. Place the stuffed chicken breasts on a greased baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden.
Serving
  1. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. Remove toothpicks, slice, and serve.

Notes

Make it your own by experimenting with different cheeses or herbs. For even cooking, pound chicken breasts to a uniform thickness.
