Recipe Summary Balsamic-Glazed Stuffed Chicken Breasts With Pesto And Parmesan

Skinless chicken breasts stuffed with pesto, sun-dried tomatoes, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese with a garlic-balsamic vinegar glaze.

Ingredients | Baked Chicken Breast Recipes With Sauce

4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried basil

salt and ground black pepper to taste

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

⅓ cup balsamic vinegar

2 tablespoons brown sugar

4 cloves garlic, minced

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Cut a pocket 3/4 of the way through the thickest side of each chicken breast. Season chicken with oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Pour 1 teaspoon sun-dried tomato oil on each breast, rubbing it and some of the seasoning inside each pocket. Fill each breast with 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese, 2 tablespoons basil pesto, 2 teaspoons sun-dried tomatoes, and 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese. Insert 3 to 4 toothpicks diagonally into each breast to seal.

Heat remaining 2 teaspoons sun-dried tomato oil in a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add stuffed chicken breasts and cook until golden, about 2 minutes per side.

While the chicken is cooking, mix together balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, and garlic in a small bowl. Pour into the skillet around the chicken. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the balsamic glaze has thickened slightly, about 5 minutes. Spoon some glaze over each breast.

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and cook until cheese has melted and chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 15 to 20 minutes.

Remove toothpicks and drizzle with pan juices to serve.
