Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup of chopped sun-dried tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 large potatoes, peeled and diced
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup of milk
- 4 tablespoons of butter
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a small bowl, mix together 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese and 1/2 cup of chopped sun-dried tomatoes.
- Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a pocket into the side of each chicken breast. Be careful not to cut all the way through.
- Stuff each chicken breast with the mozzarella and sun-dried tomato mixture, then secure the openings with toothpicks.
- Rub the chicken breasts with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Place the stuffed chicken breasts in a baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- While the chicken is baking, place the diced potatoes and minced garlic in a large pot. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
- Drain the potatoes and garlic, then return them to the pot. Add 1/2 cup of milk and 4 tablespoons of butter. Mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Once the chicken is done, remove the toothpicks and serve the stuffed chicken breasts with a side of garlic mashed potatoes. Garnish with fresh parsley and enjoy!
