Stuffed Chicken Breast with Tomatoes

If you think that preparing stuffed chicken breasts is time-consuming and very complicated, you are seriously mistaken. The dish is prepared in a good half hour, and the most trouble you will likely have is just getting the stuffing into the opening. The dish is suitable for a quick lunch or dinner during the week, but since it looks so "festive," you can also prepare it for a more formal occasion.

Ingredients

  • 700 g Meat, chicken, breasts

  • 1 spoon Olives, black, in brine

  • 1 spoon Tomato, dried, in oil

  • 1 pod Garlic, fresh

  • pieces Rosemary, fresh

  • 200 g Cheese, creamy

  • 3 pieces Tomato, red

  • pieces Salt, table

  • 2 spoons Oil, olive

Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Wash the chicken breast halves and dry them well with paper towels. In each half, make a wide and deep incision with a knife to create a pocket that we will fill with the stuffing.

  2. Rinse the herbs under running water and shake them well (dry them). Remove the leaves from the stems and chop them finely. In a blender, blend the olives, peeled garlic clove, and dried tomatoes into a smooth paste, which we mix with cream cheese and half of the herbs. Season the mixture to taste with salt and pepper.

  3. Stuff the chicken breasts with the prepared stuffing (using a spoon or a piping bag) and place them on a baking tray lined with baking paper.

  4. Wash the tomatoes, dry them, and slice them, then arrange the slices over the stuffed breasts. Lightly season everything with pepper and salt, sprinkle with the remaining herbs, and drizzle with a little olive oil. Bake the stuffed breasts in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes. Serve the dish with a side of your choice.
