Chicken breasts stuffed with cheese, tomatoes, and basil

Description

The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Preheat the oven to 220 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil. Using a knife, cut a slit in each chicken breast, carefully creating a pocket inside. Make sure the knife doesn't go all the way through. On a cutting board, finely chop basil, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, and lemon zest, then mix with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Evenly distribute the mixture inside the chicken breasts. Insert one piece of cheese into each chicken pocket. Close the pockets using 2-3 toothpicks, brush with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, remove the toothpicks, and serve. The finished dish is ready to be served.
