PESTO-STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS



Pesto-Stuffed Chicken Breasts image

This stuffed chicken breast recipe uses minimal ingredients for a fast-to-fix weeknight dinner. Serve with pasta of your choice if desired. I use cantanzaro herbs from the Savory Spice Shop®, but feel free to use Italian seasoning.

Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

cooking spray
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
5 ounces pesto, divided
4 ounces ricotta cheese, divided
4 ounces mozzarella string cheese, unwrapped
2 teaspoons garlic salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon cantanzaro herbs (from Savory Spice Shop®)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray a casserole dish with cooking spray.
  • Cut a shallow slice lengthwise down the middle of the top of each chicken breast using a sharp knife, starting and ending about 1 inch from the end. Partially fold the chicken breast in half along the slice to continue shallow, horizontal slices on both sides; slices should resemble an upside-down capital T.
  • Spread 1/4 of the ricotta cheese into each pocket. Place string cheese and pesto over ricotta. Season outsides of breasts with garlic salt, black pepper, and cantanzaro herbs.
  • Place chicken in the prepared casserole dish and cover with aluminum foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 10 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

  • Make the pesto: add all pesto ingredients to the bowl of a food processor: cilantro, cashews, jalapeño, garlic cloves, lime juice, olive oil, water and salt and pepper. Process until smooth, scraping down the sides and processing again, if necessary.
  • Transfer pesto to a large bowl and stir in the shredded chicken, chopped cherry tomatoes and ½ cup mozzarella cheese (we’re reserving the rest of the cheese for topping).
  • Using a spoon, scoop centers from zucchini while leaving a 1/4-inch rim to create boats. Place zucchini in the greased pan; they should snuggle pretty tightly in there, but if you can’t fit them all in, you can use two pans. Brush zucchini with a little olive oil (about 1 tablespoon or so). You can also simply spray them with an all natural oil-only cooking spray.
