Bruschetta Stuffed Chicken

Let me tell you that this Bruschetta Stuffed Chicken recipe is going to be one of your new favorite stuffed chicken recipe. It’s stuffed with a bruschetta filling, which is basically the same bruschetta recipe I make all the time as an appetizer. It’s super delish and has one extra ingredient in it to make it so flavorful, dried cranberries.

HOW TO MAKE THE BRUSCHETTA STUFFED CHICKEN:

The main ingredient for this recipe is the actual stuffing. I always start by preparing the bruschetta salad like I always prepare it as an appetizer dish. In the bowl, I have some feta cheese, finely chopped cherry tomatoes, finely chopped purple onions, green onions, dried cranberries and chopped fresh basil. Add in the dressing, which consists or some fresh ground black pepper, dried basil, olive oil, tiny squeeze of lemon juice, salt, balsamic vinegar, and concentrated balsamic vinegar (gives it a sweetness).

ASSEMBLING THE BRUSCHETTA STUFFED CHICKEN:

After preparing the stuffing, butterfly the chicken breasts (try buying smaller sizes of chicken breasts for this recipe) and marinate them with some black pepper, paprika, salt, onion and garlic powder. Add some feta cheese to the base, then the bruschetta stuffing, a little bit more of feta cheese and some freshly chopped basil leaves. Close you the chicken, repeat the first process of chicken marinate once again on the outside (black pepper, paprika, salt, onion and garlic powder). Brush with some olive oil. Secure sides with a toothpick.

Heat a cast iron skillet, or oven proof skillet, and add in 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Pan sear the chicken breasts on each side for about 5-7 minutes, until they start showing a nice golden crust color on the outside. Transfer the dish to cook in a preheated 400 degree oven for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and cover with aluminum foil for about 5 minutes to cool down before serving.
