Quantities above make four portions. Calorie count is per serving.

Method

  1. Butterfly chicken breasts and pound to even thickness.
  2. Layer mozzarella, sun-dried tomatoes, and basil leaves inside. Secure with toothpicks.
  3. Season outside with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  4. Sear in an oven-safe skillet 3 minutes per side until golden.
  5. Transfer to 400°F oven for 12 minutes. Rest, then drizzle with balsamic glaze.

Timing

Allow roughly 7 minutes of preparation and 21 minutes of cooking. Read the method through once before you start so nothing waits on a pan you could have had going already.
