Hasselback Chicken Recipe

Ingredients: 

2 boneless chicken breasts or thighs
Sliced mozzarella cheese
Grape Tomatoes
Fresh basil leaves
2 teaspoons of Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper
2 teaspoons olive oil

Directions: 

Place chicken on a cutting board; using a sharp knife cut slits across the chicken about 3/4 of the way through being careful not to cut all the way through.


Depending on the size of the chicken breast or thigh; you're going to want around 6-8 slits per chicken breast/thigh. Stuff each slit with a slice of mozzarella cheese, half a grape tomato and a basil leaf.

Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish that has been coated with non-stick baking spray.

Brush each chicken breast/thigh with olive oil. Sprinkle each chicken breast with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. 

Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for about 30 minutes or until temperature of the chicken reaches 160 degrees.
