Categories     Chicken

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 small boneless skinless chicken breast halves
12 large fresh basil leaves, divided
2 ounce(s) mozzarella cheese, cut into 4 slices
4 large oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, drained
1/4 cup(s) balsamic vinaigrette dressing, divided
2 1/4 cup(s) grape tomatoes, halved

Steps:

  • Make a cut in one long side of each chicken breast, being careful to not cut through to opposite side. Fill each pocket with 2 basil leaves and 1 each cheese slice and sun-dried tomato.
  • Place chicken on one side of a rimmed baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray; add tomatoes to other side of baking sheet. Brush chicken evenly with 1 Tbsp. dressing.
  • Bake in a preheated 400-degree oven for 30 minutes or until chicken is done.
  • Cut remaining basil leaves into thin slices. Top tomatoes with basil and remaining dressing; toss lightly. Serve chicken topped with tomato mixture.
  • NOTE: This is good served with hot cooked rice.
