Provided by Karina - Cafe Delites

Categories     Dinner

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 (200-gram | 7-ounce) chicken breasts
Salt and pepper (, to season)
1 teaspoon each of dried oregano and dried basil
2 roma tomatoes (, sliced thinly)
1/4 cup sun dried tomato strips in oil
4 mozzarella cheese slices ((or cheese of choice))
12 basil leaves (, divided)
4 cloves garlic (, minced or finely chopped)
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons brown sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 180°C | 350°F. Cut a pocket about 3/4 quarter of the way through on the thickest side of each breast, being careful not to cut all the way.
  • Season chicken with salt, pepper, and dried herbs. Pour 1 teaspoon of sun dried tomato oil over each breast, rubbing some of the seasoning inside the pockets.
  • Fill each with 2 slices fresh tomato, 2 teaspoons sun dried tomato strips, one slice mozzarella cheese and basil leaves.
  • Seal with 3-4 toothpicks diagonally to keep the filling inside while cooking.
  • Heat 2 teaspoons of sun dried tomato oil (or olive oil) in a skillet or non stick pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and fry for 2 minutes on each side until golden.
  • While the chicken is cooking, mix together the garlic, balsamic vinegar and brown sugar in a small jug. Pour the mixture into the pan around the chicken; bring to a simmer while stirring occasionally, until the glaze has slightly thickened (about 2-3 minutes).
  • Transfer pan to the preheated oven and continue to cook for a further 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese has melted.
  • Remove toothpicks and drizzle with pan juices.

Avocado Prawn and Sun-Dried Tomato Stuffed Chicken image

I had some prawns I wanted to use and there was not enough to make a meal out of so I decided to stuff some chicken breasts with them. These were really easy for me as the rest of the ingredients was all stuff I had in my fridge. I served ours over asparagus with a hollandaise sauce to accompany.

Steps:

  • Pre-heat oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
  • Slice chicken breast down the centre length ways, open out, pound with a meat mallet until roughly of equal thickness.
  • Lay sun-dried tomatoes down one side, of breast, top with prawns, avocado, basil, garlic and lastly cheese. splitting the ingredients as evenly as possible between the 2 breasts.
  • Fold chicken breast over the filling, secure with toothpicks. Heat a little olive oil in a fry pan, brown breasts on both sides. (This just looks more appealing when serving to have the colour on the breasts, can cook them entirely in the oven if you like.).

  • I served ours over asparagus with a hollandaise sauce.

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 whole chicken breasts

125 ml dry white wine

  • For a crispier crust, increase the oven temperature to 450°F (230°C) and cook the chicken breasts for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • If you don't have sun-dried tomatoes, you can use chopped fresh tomatoes or roasted red peppers instead.
