Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- ½ teaspoon each dried oregano thyme, and basil
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 4 sliced provolone cheese
- ½ cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup shredded Italian blend cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- ½ cup balsamic vinegar
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Use a sharp knife to cut a pocket horizontally in the thickest side of each chicken breast, being sure not to cut all the way through.
- Place one slice of provolone cheese in the pocket, topped with 1/4 of the mozzarella, and 1/4 of the six cheese Italian. Use toothpicks to close and secure the opening.
- Drizzle chicken breasts with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, oregano, thyme, basil, and garlic powder and use your fingertips to rub seasonings into the chicken.
- In a large oven-safe skillet (see note) over medium-high heat, melt butter. Once almost melted, add the honey and stir until mixture bubbles. Add chicken and brown on each side for 2-4 minutes. Whisk together the balsamic vinegar and brown sugar, pour over chicken and cook 2 minutes longer.
- Transfer pan/skillet to oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes until chicken is cooked through and cheeses are melted. Spoon balsamic sauce from the pan over the chicken, top with fresh basil if desired, and serve.

Notes
- If you don't have an oven safe pan or skillet, you can do this in a normal pan and then transfer everything into a casserole/baking dish or pan for baking portion.
