Ingredients

  • 5 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 small zucchini thinly sliced
  • 1 small yellow bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 1 small red bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray or parchment paper.
  • Place each chicken breast on a cutting board. Make horizontal slices about 3/4 of the way through the chicken, spacing them about 1/2 inch apart. Be careful not to cut all the way through.
  • Season the chicken with the garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper, working it between the slices.
  • Place the vegetables into the sliced chicken, alternating colors.
  • In a medium bowl, mix the mozzarella and Parmesan. Sprinkle it over the chicken.
  • Place the chicken on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Space the cuts evenly, about ½ inch apart, and avoid slicing all the way through the chicken.
Gently press the vegetables into the slits without overstuffing to keep everything intact.
Slice and season the chicken in advance, then stuff and bake when ready to serve
