Instructions
- Cut the chicken lengthwise but don’t cut it all the way through, 3/4 way is enough.
- Mix olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, paprika, oregano and cumin in a bowl and rub this inside and outside of the chicken.
- Fill inside of the chicken with the cheese slices and the lemon slices. Seal the chicken with toothpicks.
- Preheat the oven to 350F.
- Heat an oven safe pan over medium high heat. Once hot, place the chicken breasts in the pan and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side. Flip once to have both sides seared perfectly.
- Place the pan in the oven and bake for about 20 minutes until the chicken is cooked perfectly.
- Serve with your desired side dish.
Notes
- If you don't own an oven safe skillet, simply sear the chicken breasts in a regular skillet and transfer them to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Store the leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 250F for about 20 minutes until heated through.
- If the chicken breasts are too thick, pound them using a meat tenderizer and then stuff them with cheese and lemon.
- Don't over bake the stuffed chicken breasts because they will lose their flavor and dry out.
