Ingredients

¼ cup olive oil

1 tablespoon minced garlic

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

½ teaspoon sea salt

4 chicken breasts

½ cup balsamic vinegar

1 cup fresh basil leaves

1 (8 ounce) package mozzarella cheese

2 large Roma tomatoes

16 toothpicks

or as needed

2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Mix olive oil garlic onion powder black pepper and sea salt together in a bowl. Place chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour marinade on top. Refrigerate at least 4 hours.

Step 2

Heat balsamic vinegar in a small saucepan to a slow boil. Allow to boil for 15 minutes watching carefully to prevent burning. Cook until vinegar has reduced to half the original volume. Allow balsamic reduction to cool completely.

Step 3

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Step 4

Place 1/4 cup basil leaves 2 ounces mozzarella cheese and 1/2 a tomato on each piece of chicken. Roll chicken up and secure with toothpicks.

Step 5

Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add stuffed chicken breasts to skillet and sear on all sides 3 to 4 minutes per side.

Step 6

Transfer skillet to the oven and bake until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear about 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Step 7

Allow stuffed chicken breasts to rest 5 minutes. Drizzle with balsamic reduction before serving.
