Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 14.5 oz diced tomatoes (canned, undrained)
- 6 oz dry stuffing mix (Italian flavor)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp fresh basil leaves (chopped)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a medium bowl, combine the undrained canned diced tomatoes, dry stuffing mix, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped basil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and set aside.
Place the chicken breasts in a single layer in the prepared baking dish. Season with an additional pinch of salt and pepper if desired.
Spoon the stuffing mixture evenly over the top of the chicken breasts, ensuring each one is well covered.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the stuffing mixture.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C) and the top is golden brown and bubbly.
Remove the baking dish from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with additional fresh basil if desired, and serve hot.
