Balsamic glaze drizzled over stuffed chicken with pesto, sun-dried tomatoes, and cheese for a flavorful Italian dish.
Ingredients:
  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 6 teaspoons sun-dried tomato oil, divided
  • 4 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 8 tablespoons basil pesto
  • 8 teaspoons drained and chopped oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • toothpicks
  • 0.33333334326744 cup balsamic vinegar
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) for the perfect baking temperature.
  • Slice a pocket in the thickest side of each chicken breast, not cutting all the way through. Season with oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Drizzle and rub 1 teaspoon sun-dried tomato oil inside each pocket. Stuff each breast with Parmesan cheese, basil pesto, sun-dried tomatoes, and mozzarella cheese. Secure with 3 to 4 toothpicks diagonally.
  • In a cast iron skillet over medium heat, sizzle the stuffed chicken breasts in 2 teaspoons of sun-dried tomato oil until they turn golden brown on each side, around 2 minutes per side.
  • Combine balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, and garlic in a small bowl. Pour the mixture around the cooking chicken in the skillet. Simmer and stir occasionally until the balsamic glaze thickens slightly, approximately 5 minutes. Drizzle the glaze over each chicken breast before serving.
  • Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, the chicken is cooked through, and the juices run clear.
  • Before serving, discard toothpicks and generously drizzle the dish with the flavorful pan juices.
