Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 4 tablespoons Cream cheese (softened)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cups Fresh strawberries (hulled and halved)
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Fresh basil (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Using a sharp knife, slice a pocket into the side of each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together the grated parmesan, softened cream cheese, chopped parsley, garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper until well combined.

Step 4

Stuff each chicken breast with an equal amount of the cheese mixture and secure the opening with toothpicks if needed.

Step 5

Season the outside of the chicken breasts with the remaining salt and pepper.

Step 6

Heat a large, oven-safe skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, sear the chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown.

Step 7

Transfer the skillet with the chicken to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 8

While the chicken is baking, prepare the melted strawberries. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the halved strawberries, honey, and balsamic vinegar.

Step 9

Cook the strawberries for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they break down slightly and create a thick sauce.

Step 10

Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 11

Plate the stuffed chicken breasts and spoon the melted strawberries over the top. Garnish with fresh basil if desired.

Step 12

Serve immediately and enjoy this savory and sweet dish!
