2/3cupmozzarella cheese, shredded
salt and pepper to taste
olive oil spray
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°. Line a baking dish with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray.
Cut 4 equally spaced slits ¾ way down through chicken. Add 1 slice of tomato to each slit. Place a ½ basil leaf on either side of the tomato. (see picture)
Drizzle with olive oil. Salt & pepper each breast.
Add shredded mozzarella to the "bare" chicken. (see picture)
Bake for 30 minutes or till chicken breast is done.
Place chicken breasts in a preheated air fryer for about 20 minutes or until done and browned.
Notes
**If no fresh basil is available, 1 teaspoon basil pesto per breast can be used in its place. I count it as my 1 oil teaspoon and leave the olive oil out of the recipe.
