Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons Bruschetta Infused Olive Oil Blend
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups fresh spinach chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh basil chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons plain breadcrumbs

Equipment

  • 1 Large skillet for searing
  • 1 baking dish or oven-safe skillet for finishing in the oven
  • 1 Mixing bowl for the filling
  • 1 Chef’s knife for cutting pockets in the chicken
  • 1 set Measuring spoons for seasoning and oil
  • 1 Instant-read thermometer for checking doneness

Method
 

Instructions
  1. 1. Preheat the oven to 400°F and lightly grease a baking dish or oven-safe skillet.
  2. 2. In a bowl, mix the ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, spinach, garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, basil, oregano, and breadcrumbs until well combined.
  3. 3. Slice a pocket into each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through. Season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper.
  4. 4. Spoon the filling evenly into the chicken breasts and secure the openings with toothpicks if needed.
  5. 5. Heat the Bruschetta Infused Olive Oil Blend and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 2 to 3 minutes per side until lightly golden.
  6. 6. Transfer the chicken to the baking dish, scatter the cherry tomatoes around it, and spoon any remaining pan juices over the top.
  7. 7. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the chicken reaches 165°F in the thickest part and the filling is hot and bubbling.
  8. 8. Rest for 5 minutes before serving so the juices settle and the filling stays creamy.

Notes

For the neatest presentation, do not overfill the chicken breasts. If the filling seems loose, let it sit for a minute before stuffing so the cheeses hold together a little better. The bruschetta blend adds flavor to both the sear and the pan juices, so keep every drop in the final spooning over the chicken.
