Bruschetta Stuffed Chicken is a flavorful dish where juicy chicken breasts are filled with a fresh tomato, basil, and garlic bruschetta mixture, then baked to perfection.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  2. In a bowl, mix diced cherry tomatoes, red onion, garlic, basil, mozzarella, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
  3. Cut a pocket in each chicken breast without cutting all the way through.
  4. Stuff the bruschetta mixture evenly into each chicken breast.
  5. Season the outside of the chicken with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  6. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
