Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup shredded Asiago cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded Asiago cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, parsley, minced garlic, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
- Using a sharp knife, create a pocket in each chicken breast by cutting a horizontal slit along the side of the breast, being careful not to cut all the way through.
- Stuff each chicken breast with about 1/4 cup of the cheese mixture, pressing the edges together to seal the pocket.
- Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the stuffed chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 2 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve the stuffed Asiago chicken breasts with your favorite side dishes and enjoy!
