Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup roasted red peppers, chopped

1 cup fresh mozzarella cheese, shredded

1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1/2 cup breadcrumbs (optional, for extra crunch)

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions
 

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, combine the chopped roasted red peppers, shredded mozzarella cheese, fresh basil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

      Prepare the chicken: Place each chicken breast between two pieces of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, gently pound the chicken to about 1/2 inch thickness. This helps the chicken cook evenly and allows for easier stuffing.

        Stuff the chicken: Take a generous amount of the filling (about 1/4 cup), place it in the center of each flattened chicken breast, and fold the sides over to enclose the filling. You can secure the stuffed chicken with toothpicks if necessary.

          Coat the chicken: In a shallow bowl, combine breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese. Brush each stuffed chicken breast with olive oil and then dredge them in the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring an even coating.

            Bake the chicken: Place the stuffed chicken breasts on a greased baking sheet or oven-safe skillet and drizzle a little more olive oil on top. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F or 75°C) and the breadcrumbs are golden brown.

              Serve: Let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with a fresh salad or your favorite side dish. Enjoy your delicious roasted red pepper and mozzarella stuffed chicken!
