A New Chicken Breast Recipe

Last week we invited friends over for dinner. I love having friends over because it gives us a chance to have other people taste our recipes. Oh, and the company is nice too.:) I asked Josh if he had any menu ideas and he suggested chicken. I was fine with that. I just make sure there are plenty of veggie sides. 🙂 I knew I probably shouldn’t try new chicken breast recipes when we are entertaining, to avoid stress, but I couldn’t help myself. I love creating new recipes and I love getting feedback before we post our recipes on the blog! I warned our friends we were trying a new chicken breast recipe on them, and they seemed to excited to be our guinea pigs! 🙂

How to Make a Stuffed Chicken Breast Recipe

We had Spinach Basil Pesto in the fridge, so I decided to make Mozzarella Stuffed Chicken Breasts with Pesto. Some people shy away from stuffed chicken breast recipes, but they really aren’t scary! Stuffed chicken recipes are simple, it just takes the added step of pounding out the chicken, and deciding on something good to stuff with.

Josh pounded out the chicken breasts and we spread pesto over each piece of chicken. We added fresh slices of mozzarella cheese and rolled up the chicken breasts. We used toothpicks to hold them in place. They were nice and snug. You don’t want the cheese to ooze out while baking. We coated the chicken breasts in a Panko parmesan crust. We popped the chicken breasts in the oven and baked them until they were golden brown.

This is now one of my favorite stuffed chicken breast recipes! It’s super easy and yet it feels special, which makes it great for entertaining or an easy weeknight dinner.

I asked Josh if he liked our new stuffed chicken breast recipe. He said, “What’s not to love? Chicken, cheese, pesto, and a crispy cheese crust?
