Ingredients

  • 4 chicken breasts boneless and skinless
  • Kosher salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp herbs de Provence or italian seasoning.
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil separated from the oil, and sliced
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 shallots diced
  • 1 tbsp wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp GF flour
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • fresh basil leaves to garnish

Instructions

  • Cut a lengthways pocket to each chicken breast.
  • Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and seasonings on both sides and into the pocket too.
  • Stuff the pockets with sun-dried tomatoes, feta, and mozzarella. Seal each with a toothpick.
  • Heat the oil from the sun-dried tomatoes in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the stuffed chicken and sear until golden on both sides, about 6-8 minutes in total. Set aside on a plate.
  • To the same skillet, add the shallots and cook over medium heat for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add in the wine vinegar, flour, and whisk for a bit. Pour the stock little by little, whisking after each addition to incorporate and form a thick sauce. Season to taste.
  • Return the chicken to the pan and into the sauce, and spoon the sauce over.
  • Cover the pan and cook over low heat for 12-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temp shows 165F.
  • Garnish with basil and serve warm.

Notes

  • Serving size: one chicken breast 
  • Herbs: for the chicken, you can use any herbs you prefer. Italian seasoning will work just as well.
  • Do use boneless and skinless chicken breast 
  • For gluten-free allergies, do use GF flour. 
  • Stock: If you don't have chicken stock, you can use vegetable stock
  • Best to use sun-dried tomatoes in oil.
