Ingredients
  

  • 4 chicken breasts boneless, skinless
  • 1 cup Italian breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese grated
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup basil chopped fresh
  • 1/4 cup parsley chopped fresh
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 cup olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the Italian breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, chopped fresh basil, chopped fresh parsley, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
  • Use a sharp knife to butterfly each chicken breast, cutting horizontally through the thickest part of the breast, without cutting all the way through.
  • Divide the breadcrumb mixture into 4 equal portions. Place a portion of the breadcrumb mixture onto each chicken breast, then fold the chicken breast over to enclose the filling.
  • Secure the chicken breasts with toothpicks to hold the filling in place.
  • Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the stuffed chicken breasts and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
  • Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
  • Remove the toothpicks and serve the Italian stuffed chicken breasts warm.
