  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (68 oz each)
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 medium Roma tomatoes (thinly sliced)
  • 8 ounces fresh mozzarella (sliced)
  • 1 cup fresh basil leaves (cut in half)

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken: Whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, Italian seasoning, minced garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Coat the chicken in the marinade and refrigerate for at least one hour or up to 24 hours.
  2. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Prepare a rimmed baking sheet lined with foil and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
  3. Cut deep slits (½ inch apart) across the top of each chicken breast without cutting all the way through. Stuff each cut with tomato slices, mozzarella slices, and basil leaves.
  4. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Allow to rest for five minutes before serving.
