>>One Pan Dinner: Mozza-Basil Stuffed Chicken with Roasted Tomatoes



This was such an easy dinner, and it was delicious.  It only uses one pan, which is amazing for those of us who don't own a dishwasher (who's with me here?!)

>> Ingredients

~ 4 small boneless, skinless chicken breasts
~ 12 large, fresh basil leaves, divided
~ 60g part-skim mozzarella cheese, cut into 4 slices
~ 4 tbsp oil packed sliced sun-dried tomatoes, drained
~ 1/4 cup roasted tomato and olive oil salad dressing, divided
~ 2 cups grape tomatoes, sliced in half
~ cooking spray

>> Directions

Pre-heat oven to 400F.  Cut into the long side of the chicken breast to create a pocket, making sure you don't cut right through.  Fill with 2 basil leaves, 1 slice of cheese, and 1 tbsp of sun-dried tomatoes.  place chicken to one side of a baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray.  Brush with 1 tbsp of dressing. Keep closed with a toothpick.  Place sliced tomatoes on the other side of the baking sheet.  Chop the remaining basil and sprinkle over tomatoes.  Bake for 30 minutes, or until chicken reaches 170F.
Toss tomatoes in the remaining dressing and serve on top of chicken.  It was great with a side of long-grain brown rice.
