INGREDIENTS:

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• Sliced mozzarella cheese
• Grape tomatoes; sliced in half
• Fresh basil leaves
• 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning

3. Stuff each slit with a slice of mozzarella cheese, half a grape tomato and a basil leaf.
4. Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish that has been coated with non-stick baking spray.
5. Brush each chicken breast with olive oil.
6. Sprinkle each chicken breast with salt, pepper and Italian seasoning.
7. Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for 30 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 160 degrees.
