Mozzarella Stuffed Chicken
I saw the most amazing stuffed chicken breast and decided to give it a go. This mozzarella stuffed chicken is delicious and has a mediterranean flare to it. It reminds me so much of my Mediterranean Breakfast Caprese. https://msfoodsnob.com/mediterranean-caprese-breakfast-tart/. Oregano, Paprika, Mozzarella, and fresh tomatoes brings this Chicken dish all together with a deliciousness any picker eater will enjoy.
Mix the Oregano, salt, pepper and Paprika together with the oil/butter.
Slice the chicken breast with 4-5 even slices, but not all the way through.
Brush the sliced chicken breast with the seasoned oil. Make sure to get the mixture down into the sliced sections so that all the chicken is smothered well.
Place the sliced mozzarella and tomatoes into each of the slices in the chicken. Bake in the oven for about 40 minutes.
Baked deliciousness of Mozzarella stuffed chicken. I forgot to top with fresh basil – but this will add a fresh peppery taste for perfection.
Serve with your favorite vegetable or salad and Enjoy!!
