Instructions: How to Cook Primavera Stuffed Chicken
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Using a sharp knife, cut a pocket into each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through.
- In a bowl, combine the chopped asparagus, bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, garlic, olive oil, basil, salt, and pepper.
- Stuff each chicken breast with the vegetable mixture, dividing it evenly among the four breasts.
- Secure the openings of the chicken breasts with toothpicks to hold the stuffing inside.
- Season the outside of the chicken breasts with additional salt, pepper, and basil.
- Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
- Remove the toothpicks before serving.
- Serve the Primavera Stuffed Chicken hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
