Balsamic Glazed Caprese Stuffed Chicken with Roasted Vegetables
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 8 oz fresh mozzarella, sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 4 cups mixed vegetables (such as bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion), chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Using a sharp knife, cut a pocket into the side of each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through.
- Stuff each chicken breast with 2-3 slices of mozzarella, a few cherry tomato halves, and a couple of basil leaves. Secure with toothpicks if needed.
- In a small saucepan, bring the balsamic vinegar to a simmer over medium heat. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until it has reduced by half and has a syrupy consistency. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Brush the mixture over the stuffed chicken breasts.
- Place the chicken breasts on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- While the chicken is cooking, toss the mixed vegetables with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on a separate baking sheet and roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.
- Once the chicken and vegetables are done, remove them from the oven. Drizzle the balsamic reduction over the stuffed chicken breasts.
- Serve the balsamic glazed caprese stuffed chicken with the roasted vegetables and enjoy!
