Instructions

Prepare all ingredients you will need for easier assembly.
Using a sharp knife, make 4-5 cutting slits into the chicken without cutting to the bottom of the chicken pieces.
Fill each slit with one piece of tomato, mozzarella, and one bigger leaf of basil. Continue until you have filled all the chicken breasts prepared.
At this point, heat the oven to 200 degrees C or 400 degrees F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and gently place the chicken on top of the tray.
Once your chicken breasts are spread nicely over the tray, sprinkle them generously with Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
As the last step, sprinkle salt and pepper. Place chicken in the oven and bake for approximately 25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees f.

Notes

Additions - you can swap or add shredded cheddar cheese, slices of bacon, or cooked bacon
Seasoning - you can additionally season the chicken with your favorite seasoning mixture, such as our sausage, taco, or enchilada seasoning, to add even more flavors. Season your chicken before slicing, and let the chicken rest in a small bowl for a half-hour in your seasoning.
