Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts: The foundation of the dish, these juicy chicken breasts provide the perfect canvas for the flavorful cheese filling.
  • 1 cup Marinara Sauce: A classic pizza accompaniment that complements the melted cheese and adds an extra layer of flavor.
  • 1 cup Mozzarella Cheese: For that gooey, melty goodness.
  • 1 cup Cheddar Cheese: Adds a sharp flavor that enhances the filling.
  • 1/2 cup Feta Cheese: Offers a creamy and tangy contrast to the other cheeses.
  • 1 tsp Italian Seasoning: Infuses the chicken and cheese filling with Italian flavors.
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder: Adds depth to the seasoning.
  • Salt and Pepper to taste: Essential for enhancing flavors.
  • 1 cup Breadcrumbs: For a delightful crunch on the outside.
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil: Helps achieve a golden-brown finish.

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare the Chicken: Carefully slice a pocket into the center of each chicken breast, being cautious not to cut all the way through.
  3. Mix the Cheese Filling: In a bowl, combine mozzarella, cheddar, and feta cheeses with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until well incorporated.
  4. Stuff the Chicken: Spoon the cheese mixture into the pockets of the chicken breasts. Secure with toothpicks if necessary.
  5. Coat and Bake: Drizzle with olive oil and coat with breadcrumbs. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 30-35 minutes or until cooked through and cheese is melted.

Notes

For a well-rounded meal, pair with a fresh garden salad, roasted vegetables, or garlic-infused pasta. Consider additional marinara sauce for dipping!
