Time 30m

Yield 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 chicken breasts
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon pepper
12 sundried tomatoes
3 tablespoons pesto
3 oz shredded mozzarella cheese, shredded
3 tablespoons oil, for pan frying

Steps:

  • On a cutting board, salt and pepper both sides of each chicken breast with approximately ½ teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper, per side.
  • Slice each chicken breast horizontally along the side to create a pocket for the filling.
  • Stuff each breast with approximately one third of mozzarella cheese, one tablespoon pesto and four sundried tomatoes. If the chicken breast does not close fully with the filling, try securing with a wooden toothpick.
  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  • Pan fry for about 5-8 minutes, per side, depending on the size of the chicken breasts, until the cheese is melted and the chicken is cooked through. Serve warm.
  • Enjoy!
