Steps:
- Preparation: -Place the chicken breasts into a medium-size bowl, and add in all of the ingredients beginning with the olive oil, up to and including the black pepper, and toss to season the meat well; marinate the chicken for at least 20 minutes, or even overnight, if preparing ahead. -Once chicken in marinated, preheat your oven to 350°, and line a baking sheet with foil and top with a wire rack. -Preheat your grill pan over medium-high heat, and drizzle in about 1-2 tablespoons of oil; once hot, add in the chicken breasts (work in a couple of batches, if necessary) and grill them for about 3 minutes per side, or just until golden on the outside (the chicken will not be cooked through at this point, which is fine.) -Once the chicken is cool enough to handle, make a pocket in the thickest part of the breast, taking care not to cut all the way through, but just creating a large enough of pocket to stuff with filling; add a generous ¼ cup of the cheese, then a couple of tablespoons each of the black beans and corn, and then a few slices of the roasted red peppers. -Use a couple of toothpicks to secure the opening, and place the stuffed breasts onto the wire rack, and place into the oven to bake for about 8-10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melty. -Top each stuffed chicken breast with some of the Pico de Gallo, plus a few cilantro leaves, if desired, and a slice/wedge of lime, for garnish.
Tips for Making Southwest Stuffed Chicken Breasts:
- Choose boneless, skinless chicken breasts that are of uniform thickness to ensure even cooking.
- Use a sharp knife to make a deep pocket in each chicken breast without cutting all the way through.
- For the stuffing, use a combination of flavorful ingredients such as black beans, corn, bell peppers, and spices for a Tex-Mex flair.
- To prevent the stuffing from falling out during cooking, secure the openings of the chicken breasts with toothpicks or kitchen twine.
- Season the chicken breasts liberally with salt and pepper, both inside and out, to enhance their flavor.
- For a crispy and golden brown crust, coat the chicken breasts in a mixture of flour, paprika, chili powder, and cumin before pan-searing.
- Transfer the chicken breasts to a baking dish and finish cooking in the oven until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
- Let the chicken breasts rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
