Tomato Basil Stuffed Chicken Breasts
Tasty Chicken
This Tomato Basil Stuffed Chicken Breast recipe is one of my best new recipes. It is simply made with fresh basil, sliced cherry tomatoes and seasoned with delicious Italian herbs and spices. Sometimes I will substitute the tomatoes with sun-dried tomatoes to give the dish a richer flavor.
You can broil, grill or fry the chicken. Or you can bread them, fry them and broil them with some fresh mozzarella and marinara on top. Anyway you decide to cook them they will be a great addition to your family meals.
Always make sure you serve this Tomato Basil Stuffed Chicken Dish with a nice crisp piece of garlic bread and nice bottle of wine. Preferably a pinot grigio, sauvignon blanc or a petite sirah.
