Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup chipotle BBQ sauce
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup diced red onion
- 1/4 cup diced bell pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cups mixed vegetables (such as bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion)
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a small bowl, mix together the chipotle BBQ sauce, shredded cheddar cheese, diced red onion, diced bell pepper, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- Cut a pocket into each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through. Stuff each chicken breast with the chipotle BBQ mixture.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the stuffed chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- While the chicken is baking, toss the mixed vegetables with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, dried thyme, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet.
- Roast the vegetables in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
- Once the chicken is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
- Serve the spicy chipotle BBQ stuffed chicken breast with the roasted vegetables on the side. Enjoy!
