Ingredients

  • 4 chicken breasts boneless and skinless
  • kosher salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp herbs de provence or italian seasoning.
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil separated from the oil, and sliced
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
  • 2 shallots diced
  • 1 tbsp wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp GF flour
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • fresh basil leaves to garnish

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Cut a lengthways pocket to each chicken breast.
  2. Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and seasonings on both sides and into the pocket too.
  3. Stuff the pockets with sun-dried tomatoes, feta, and mozzarella. Seal each with a toothpick.
  4. Heat the oil from the sun-dried tomatoes in a large skillet over medium heat.
  5. Add the stuffed chicken and sear until golden on both sides, about 6-8 minutes in total. Set aside on a plate.
  6. To the same skillet, add the shallots and cook over medium heat for 2-3 minutes.
  7. Add in the wine vinegar, flour, and whisk for a bit. Pour the stock little by little, whisking after each addition to incorporate and form a thick sauce. Season to taste.
  8. Return the chicken to the pan and into the sauce, and spoon the sauce over.
  9. Cover the pan and cook over low heat for 12-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temp shows 165F.
  10. Garnish with basil and serve warm.

Notes

  • Serving size: one chicken breast 
  • Herbs: for the chicken, you can use any herbs you prefer. Italian seasoning will work just as well.
  • Do use boneless and skinless chicken breast 
  • For gluten-free allergies, do use GF flour. 
  • Stock: If you don't have chicken stock, you can use vegetable stock
  • Best to use sun-dried tomatoes in oil.
