Chicken Breast with Tomato & Basil Seasoning
Chicken breasts really need proper seasoning to be truly delicious — otherwise, they can be a bit boring!
Here’s a simple yet impressive recipe featuring our Tomato-Basil seasoning, perfect for weeknight dinners or entertaining guests without stress.
Ingredients
-
1 chicken breast
-
½ large tomato, sliced
-
2 slices mozzarella cheese
-
2 fresh basil leaves
-
2 tablespoons Tomato-Basil seasoning – Les Savoureux
-
½ teaspoon Lemon Salt & Pepper
-
Olive oil, for cooking
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 350°F
Slice the chicken breast lengthwise to create a pocket (butterfly cut). Open it like a book.
Sprinkle the inside generously with the Tomato-Basil seasoning.
Add the tomato slices, mozzarella cheese and fresh basil leaves.
Close the chicken breast and secure with toothpicks to keep the filling inside.
Season the outside of the chicken with a small amount of Lemon Pepper seasoning.
Heat an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil.
Sear the chicken breast for about 4 minutes per side, until nicely golden.
Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked.
Serve with a fresh salad — ideally with a Savoureux Italian dressing 😉
