Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 0.5 cup Chicken broth

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish with a little olive oil and set aside.

Step 2

Use a sharp knife to slice each chicken breast horizontally to create a pocket for the stuffing. Be careful not to cut all the way through.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, combine the minced garlic, parsley, thyme, rosemary, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, melted butter, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the stuffing comes together.

Step 4

Carefully spoon the stuffing mixture into the pocket of each chicken breast. Use toothpicks to secure the edges if necessary to keep the stuffing in place.

Step 5

Season the outside of the chicken breasts with a little more salt and pepper.

Step 6

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the stuffed chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Transfer the seared chicken to the prepared baking dish.

Step 7

Pour the chicken broth into the bottom of the baking dish to help keep the chicken moist during baking.

Step 8

Bake the stuffed chicken breasts in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 9

Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Discard the toothpicks if used.

Step 10

Serve the stuffed chicken breasts with your choice of side dishes, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
