Description
This dish brings the wow factor without the work. Juicy chicken breasts are sliced Hasselback-style and stuffed with ripe tomato slices, fresh mozzarella, and fragrant basil—then finished with a drizzle of pesto. It’s a carb-free stunner that tastes as amazing as it looks.
Ingredients
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1–2 tomatoes, thinly sliced
1 ball fresh mozzarella, sliced
Fresh basil leaves
2 tbsp pesto
Salt & pepper to taste
Olive oil for drizzling
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cut deep slits into each chicken breast, about ¾ of the way through, spaced ½ inch apart.
Season with salt and pepper.

Drizzle with olive oil and spoon pesto over the top.
Bake for 25–30 minutes until chicken is cooked through and cheese is melty.
