Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: Marinade:; 1/4 cup olive oil; 1 tablespoon minced garlic; 1 teaspoon onion powder; 1 teaspoon ground black pepper; 1/2 teaspoon sea salt; 4 chicken breasts, pounded flat; 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar; 1 cup fresh basil leaves; 1 (8 ounce) package mozzarella cheese, sliced; 2 large Roma tomatoes, sliced; 16 toothpicks, or as needed; 2 tablespoons olive oil

Servings: persons

Marinade:
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
4 chicken breasts, pounded flat
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1 cup fresh basil leaves
1 (8 ounce) package mozzarella cheese, sliced
2 large Roma tomatoes, sliced
16 toothpicks, or as needed
2 tablespoons olive oil

1
Mix olive oil, garlic, onion powder, black pepper, and sea salt together in a bowl. Place chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour marinade on top. Refrigerate at least 4 hours.
2
Heat balsamic vinegar in a small saucepan to a slow boil. Allow to boil for 15 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning. Cook until vinegar has reduced to half the original volume. Allow balsamic reduction to cool completely.
3
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
4
Place 1/4 cup basil leaves, 2 ounces mozzarella cheese, and 1/2 a tomato on each piece of chicken. Roll chicken up and secure with toothpicks.
5
Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add stuffed chicken breasts to skillet and sear on all sides, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
6
Transfer skillet to the oven and bake until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
7
Allow stuffed chicken breasts to rest 5 minutes. Drizzle with balsamic reduction before serving.
