 Pesto Hasselback Chicken Recipe


Pesto Hasselback Chicken Recipe

This Pesto Hasselback Chicken is a flavorful, juicy dish that’s as beautiful as it is delicious. The chicken is sliced and stuffed with pesto, mozzarella, and tomatoes, then baked to perfection. It’s ideal for an easy yet elegant meal.

Ingredients (Serves 4):

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup basil pesto (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • Optional garnish: fresh basil leaves or parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven:

    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish with olive oil.

  2. Prepare the Chicken:

    • Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board. Make 5-6 deep slits across the top of each breast, being careful not to cut all the way through.

  3. Season the Chicken:

    • Rub the chicken with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

  4. Stuff the Chicken:

    • Spread a small amount of pesto into each slit. Then stuff with shredded mozzarella and a cherry tomato half.

  5. Bake the Chicken:

    • Place the stuffed chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C) and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  6. Garnish and Serve:

    • Garnish with fresh basil leaves or parsley for a pop of color. Serve hot with your favorite side dishes.

Serving Suggestions

  • Pair with a green salad, roasted vegetables, or garlic bread.
  • Serve over pasta, rice, or quinoa for a more filling meal.

Tips

  • Even Cooking: Choose chicken breasts of similar size and thickness for even cooking.
  • Make Ahead: Prep the chicken earlier in the day and refrigerate until ready to bake.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

This Pesto Hasselback Chicken is a showstopper dish that’s surprisingly simple to make. Enjoy the combination of juicy chicken, savory pesto, melted cheese, and sweet tomatoes! 🐔🌿🍅🧀
