Basil And Pesto Hasselback Chicken
Ingredients:
- 4 chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons red pesto
- 1 handful fresh basil, roughly chopped
- ½ cup mozzarella cheese (50 g)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Slice into the chicken several times, about 1 cm (½ inch) apart, but only cut about 85% of the way through, leaving the bottom intact.
- Cook the red pesto and basil on a medium heat until the basil is just wilted.
- Sprinkle over the mozzarella and stir until melted.
- Allow to cool to the touch, and then fill each segment of the chicken breast with about 1 teaspoon of the mixture.
- Bake in the centre of the oven for 18-22 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear.
- Enjoy!
