Time 5h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

¼ cup olive oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon sea salt
4 chicken breasts, pounded flat
½ cup balsamic vinegar
1 cup fresh basil leaves
1 (8 ounce) package mozzarella cheese, sliced
2 large Roma tomatoes, sliced
16 toothpicks, or as needed
2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Mix olive oil, garlic, onion powder, black pepper, and sea salt together in a bowl. Place chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour marinade on top. Refrigerate at least 4 hours.
  • Heat balsamic vinegar in a small saucepan to a slow boil. Allow to boil for 15 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning. Cook until vinegar has reduced to half the original volume. Allow balsamic reduction to cool completely.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Place 1/4 cup basil leaves, 2 ounces mozzarella cheese, and 1/2 a tomato on each piece of chicken. Roll chicken up and secure with toothpicks.
  • Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add stuffed chicken breasts to skillet and sear on all sides, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
  • Transfer skillet to the oven and bake until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Allow stuffed chicken breasts to rest 5 minutes. Drizzle with balsamic reduction before serving.

Literally the best, and easiest to make, caprese chicken you've ever had, I promise.

Provided by Hannah Winters

Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 teaspoon butter, or as needed
2 ½ cups shredded mozzarella, divided
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 (8 ounce) package fresh spinach, chopped
½ (8 ounce) package cream cheese, at room temperature
½ teaspoon garlic powder
4 (6 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 pinch lemon-pepper seasoning, or to taste
2 medium tomatoes, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons balsamic vinaigrette dressing, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Butter a 9x13-inch glass baking pan.
  • Combine 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, chopped spinach, cream cheese, and garlic powder in a medium bowl.
  • Slice chicken lengthwise on the side of each breast to make a pocket, being careful not to cut all the way through to the other side. Stuff cheese and spinach mixture into each breast. Secure filling by sealing each pocket with 2 to 3 toothpicks. Season with lemon-pepper seasoning and place in the prepared baking pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes; it's okay if some of the cheese and spinach mixture spills out while baking.
  • Remove from the oven and top with tomato slices and remaining mozzarella. Drizzle with balsamic vinaigrette and return to the oven. Bake until chicken is cooked through and cheese on top is bubbly and golden, 10 to 15 more minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe tomatoes for the best flavor. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and have no blemishes.
  • Use fresh basil for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh basil, you can use dried basil, but the flavor will not be as good.
  • Don't overcook the chicken breasts. Chicken breasts are best when they are cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken breasts rest before slicing them. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken and make it more tender.
  • Serve the chicken breasts with your favorite sides. Some good options include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Conclusion:

Caprese stuffed chicken breasts are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The chicken breasts are stuffed with a flavorful mixture of tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, and basil, and then baked to perfection. The result is a juicy, tender, and flavorful dish that is sure to please everyone at the table.
