Ingredients
- 4 medium chicken breasts skinless and boneless
- 1 tablespoon dried Italian seasoning
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 Roma or vine tomatoes thinly sliced
- 4 oz crumbled feta
- 2 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil
- ⅓ cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic minced or finely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F and pat your chicken breasts dry with paper towels.
- Use a sharp knife to cut a pocket into the middle of each chicken breast, about ¾ quarters of the way through. Be careful not to cut it all the way.
- Generously season the outside and pocket of the chicken with the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Evenly stuff each chicken breast with 1 or 2 slices of tomato and about 2 Tablespoons of crumbled feta. Use a toothpick to secure the chicken breasts, if necessary.
- Heat a saute pan with olive oil to medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken breast to the pan and cook each side for 2 minutes.
- Meanwhile, as the chicken cooks, combine the minced garlic cloves and balsamic vinegar in a small bowl.
- Once the chicken is done, pour the balsamic mixture over each chicken breast. Bring to a simmer and gently spoon over each chicken bread until the vinegar has slightly thickened to a glaze. This should take an additional 2 - 3 minutes.
- Carefully transfer the pan to the oven and continue to cook for 15 - 20 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through or reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes.
- Spoon extra balsamic reduction on top and serve with a side salad or your favorite roasted vegetable. Enjoy!
Notes
- Homemade Italian seasoning: Mix together 2 tablespoon dried basil, 2 tablespoon dried oregano, 1 tablespoon dried rosemary, 2 tablespoon dried parsley, 1 tablespoon dried thyme, 2 teaspoon garlic powder. Then measure for this recipe.
- Storing: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 – 5 days.
- Reheating: You can reheat stuffed chicken in the microwave or in the oven at 350°F for 5 – 10 minutes until warm.
