- 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
- Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the Chicken: Carefully slice a pocket into the center of each chicken breast, being cautious not to cut all the way through.
- 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.
- Stuff the Chicken: Spoon the cheese mixture into the pockets of the chicken breasts. Secure with toothpicks if necessary.
- 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.
