Ingredients

• 1 chicken breast
• 1 oz. low-fat mozzarella
• 1 artichoke heart (from a can)
• 1 tsp. sundried tomato, chopped
• 5 large basil leaves
• 1 clove garlic
• 1/4 tsp. curry powder
• 1/4 tsp. paprika
• Pinch of pepper
• Toothpicks

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 365 F (185 C).
• Cut the chicken breast almost halfway through with a sharp knife.
• Chop up the mozzarella, artichoke, basil, tomato, and garlic. Mix to combine and stuff it into the cut chicken breast.
• Use a few toothpicks to close the chicken breast around the stuffing (you can see how in the video above).
• Place the chicken breast on a baking sheet or aluminum foil, and season it with pepper, curry powder, and paprika.
• Bake for around 20 minutes (depending on the size of the chicken breast).
• Remember to remove the toothpicks before serving, and you’re done!
• Optional: To make the chicken breast even more tender, start by brining it in salt water as described in my post “How To Cook The Perfect Chicken Breast”.
