Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 chicken breasts
2 tablespoons red pesto
1 handful fresh basil, roughly chopped
½ cup mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
  • Slice into the chicken several times, about 1 cm (½ inch) apart, but only cut about 85% of the way through, leaving the bottom intact.
  • Cook the red pesto and basil on a medium heat until the basil is just wilted.
  • Sprinkle over the mozzarella and stir until melted.
  • Allow to cool to the touch, and then fill each segment of the chicken breast with about 1 teaspoon of the mixture.
  • Bake in the centre of the oven for 18-22 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear.
  • Enjoy!
