Roast Stuffed Chicken Breasts

October 28, 2018

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Roast chicken is so versatile and can be stuffed with a variety of ingredients. One of my favourite stuffings is mozzarella, black olives and semi sundried tomatoes. It gives a real Mediterranean vibe to the dish.

It is quick to prepare and bake and tastes great. Place your hand on top of the chicken breast and cut the chicken breast through the middle without cutting all the way through. Then add the stuffing ingredients and close. I use toothpicks or bamboo skewers  to keep the chicken breast together and prevent the stuffing from falling out.

I add some lemon quarters into my baking tray with a little water. This will some juice or sauce that you can pour over the chicken when serving.

I like to serve with a variety of different sides depending on what I feel like eating including dauphinoise potatoes, rice, baby potatoes, roasted baby potatoes, steamed green beans or broccoli.

If I serve rice with my chicken I often add some soy sauce to the juice for extra flavour.
