Bruschetta Stuffed Chicken is a twist on the classic Italian dish of bruschetta, which traditionally consists of grilled bread topped with a mixture of fresh tomatoes, garlic, basil, and olive oil. In this recipe, we stuff juicy chicken breasts with the same tomato and basil mixture, along with slices of mozzarella cheese, for a hearty and flavorful dish. It is simple enough for a weeknight dinner, yet elegant enough for a dinner party. It pairs well with a simple green salad or roasted vegetables for a balanced meal.

Instructions

1.Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2.In a medium bowl, mix the tomatoes, garlic, basil, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
3.Cut a pocket into the side of each chicken breast, being careful not to cut through the other side.
4.Stuff each chicken breast with 1/4 of the tomato mixture and 1 slice of mozzarella cheese.
5.Secure each chicken breast with toothpicks to keep the filling inside.
6.Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken on both sides for 2-3 minutes per side.
7.Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8.Remove the toothpicks and garnish with additional basil before serving.
