Description
A vibrant and healthy savory appetizer and dinner course featuring two portions of baked skillet pan chicken breasts stuffed inside a hot pocket with fresh spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, crumbled feta, and shredded mozzarella cheese.
Ingredients
2 large chicken breasts
3/4 cup sun-dried tomato vinaigrette
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes
1/2 cup fresh spinach
1/2 cup feta cheese
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
1 pinch salt and black pepper
Instructions
Marinate the raw poultry cutlets completely inside the sun-dried tomato vinaigrette for up to four hours inside the refrigerator.
Preheat your kitchen oven unit to a steady 375°F (190°C) positioning a metal wire rack directly over the center tracks.
Slice a deep horizontal pocket into the thick side of each breast without cutting completely through the opposing muscle wall.
Mix the chopped spinach tomatoes crumbled feta and shredded mozzarella inside a bowl to distribute the filling evenly between pockets.
Secure the open meat flaps tightly with wooden toothpicks dusting the exterior walls with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Sear the stuffed cutlets inside a hot oven-safe skillet pan for 3 minutes per side until a golden crust establishes.
Bake the loaded skillet pan directly inside the preheated oven for 25 minutes until the internal core temperature reaches 165°F.
Remove from the burner fire letting the meat rest inside the pan boundaries for 5 minutes before pulling out the toothpicks.
