Hasselback Chicken Stuffed with Mozzarella, Tomato and Basil

Step 1

Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, cut slits across the chicken breast about 3/4 of the way through being careful not to cut all the way through.

Step 2

Depending on the size of your chicken breast, you're going to want around 6 to 8 slits per chicken breast.

Step 3

Stuff each slit with a slice of mozzarella cheese, half a grape tomato and a basil leaf.

Step 4

Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish that has been coated with non-stick baking spray.

Step 5

Brush each chicken breast with olive oil.

Step 6

Sprinkle each chicken breast with salt, pepper and Italian seasoning.

Step 7

Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for 30 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 160 degrees.
