Italian Stuffed Chicken Breast
These Italian themed stuffed chicken breasts are a guaranteed family dinner pleaser. The deliciously creamy mozzarella and basil centre is elevated by sun-dried tomato pesto. Slice and serve with pasta and salad!
Italian flavours
The classic combination of tomato, mozzarella and basil can’t be beaten, and gives chicken a real boost. The prosciutto / bacon helps to keep all the moisture and all that flavour inside, so there’ll be no dry stuffed chicken breast in this dish!
You can also prepare these in advance and freeze them for a quick weeknight dinner idea. Be sure to add a few more minutes to the oven time if you cook from frozen.
