  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Sliced mozzarella cheese
  • Grape tomatoes; sliced in half
  • Fresh basil leaves
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • Salt and Pepper

  2. Depending on the size of your chicken breast, you're going to want around 6 to 8 slits per chicken breast.
  3. Stuff each slit with a slice of mozzarella cheese, half a grape tomato and a basil leaf.
  4. Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish that has been coated with non-stick baking spray.
  5. Brush each chicken breast with olive oil.
  6. Sprinkle each chicken breast with salt, pepper and Italian seasoning.
  7. Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for 30 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 160 degrees.
