Instructions
-
Prepare the Chicken: Begin by cutting a deep pocket into the side of each chicken breast. Set these aside while you prepare the filling.
-
Sauté the Vegetables: In a skillet, add a drizzle of olive oil and sauté the red peppers, chopped green onions, minced garlic, and sliced mushrooms until they are soft and fragrant, approximately 5-7 minutes.
-
Stuff the Chicken: Open the pocket in each chicken breast and generously fill it with the sautéed vegetable mixture, layering in slices of mozzarella cheese. Be sure to reserve a small portion of the vegetable mixture for the marinade later.
-
Secure the Stuffing: Use toothpicks to secure the opening of each chicken breast, ensuring the delicious filling stays intact while cooking.
-
Marinate: In a bowl, combine the reserved vegetable mixture with red wine vinegar, basil, and oregano. Coat each stuffed chicken breast with this marinade and allow it to sit for at least 20 minutes to absorb all those incredible flavors.
-
Grill the Chicken: Preheat your grill to medium heat. Grill the chicken breasts for about 10 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Enjoy this exquisite dish, perfect for impressing family and friends alike!
