Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 pieces Roma tomatoes, diced
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 cloves Minced garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt (for bruschetta topping)
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (for bruschetta topping)
- 0.5 cup Italian breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil (for searing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare the cheese filling by mixing the softened cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, and dried Italian seasoning in a medium bowl until smooth. Set aside.
Prepare the bruschetta topping by tossing the diced Roma tomatoes, chopped fresh basil, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Set aside, allowing the flavors to meld.
Pat the chicken breasts dry and slice a pocket horizontally into each one, taking care not to slice all the way through.
Stuff each chicken breast with an equal amount of the cheese filling, then secure the openings with toothpicks to hold the filling in place.
Sprinkle the outside of each chicken breast with salt, black pepper, and a light coating of Italian breadcrumbs.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the stuffed chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake the chicken for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the oven and allow it to rest for 5 minutes.
Top each chicken breast with a generous portion of the prepared bruschetta topping before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your restaurant-style bruschetta cheese stuffed chicken breasts!
