Ingredients

  • 4 chicken breasts skinless and boneless
  • 4 oz mozzarella shredded or sliced
  • 8-12 fresh basil leaves
  • 1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes roughly chopped
  • 1/2 tsp salt or to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425F. Place a chicken breast on your cutting board and firmly lay your hand flat on top of it. Carefully slice the chicken breast, starting from the front of the breast and working your way to the back. Stop about 1/2" from the end of the breast to keep it in one piece. Open the chicken breast. Repeat with the other 3 breasts.
  • Lay the cheese over one half of the butterflied chicken breast, then lay 2-3 basil leaves over the cheese, and finally top with a few tbsp of the sun-dried tomatoes. Fold the other side of the butterflied breast over the fillings. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Repeat with the other 3 breasts.
  • If you'd like, secure the chicken breasts closed with toothpicks. Heat the sun-dried tomato oil over medium-high heat in a large oven-proof skillet. Place the chicken breasts into the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until golden, then pour the broth and vinegar into the skillet.
  • Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, until the chicken is completely cooked through and the cheese is melty. Serve the chicken with the sauce from the skillet spooned over top.
