Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded or sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Balsamic glaze for drizzling

Method
 

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Using a sharp knife, cut a pocket into each chicken breast. Be careful not to cut all the way through.
  3. Stuff each chicken breast with mozzarella cheese, cherry tomatoes, and fresh basil.
  4. Secure the stuffed chicken breasts with toothpicks to keep the filling inside.
  5. Brush each chicken breast with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  6. Place the stuffed chicken breasts on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
  7. Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.
  8. Drizzle balsamic glaze over the top before serving.
  9. Enjoy your delicious Grilled Caprese Stuffed Chicken with a side of your choice!

Notes

Make sure to secure the chicken breasts tightly with toothpicks to prevent the filling from falling out while grilling. You can also bake these in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 25-30 minutes if you don't have a grill. Add a splash of balsamic vinegar to the stuffing mix for an extra burst of flavor!
