Print Recipe Pin Recipe
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. Heat grill to medium-high.
  2. Cut a pocket in each breast with a sharp knife, without cutting through.
  3. Fill with mozzarella, tomatoes, and basil.
  4. Secure with toothpicks.
  5. Brush with oil; season with salt and pepper.
  6. Grill 6-7 minutes per side until cooked through and marked.
  7. Rest a few minutes.
  8. Drizzle with balsamic glaze.
  9. Serve with preferred side.

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!
