Stuffed Chicken
You’ll need: chicken breasts, mozzarella cheese, Italian herbs, FRESH GARLIC, chunky tomato sauce, V8, and a pasta of your choice
Prep time: 5ish minutes
~ Coat the bottom of your baking dish with V8.
~ Take your thawed chicken and make a horizontal cut down the length of the meat. You’re making a pocket for the stuffing. Personally, I cut the breasts into servings BEFORE I make the pockets so that each person has their own stuffed chicken breast. It also makes the presentation look nicer.
~ Once your pockets are cut, fold the flap open and lay down a layer of mozzarella cheese. After the cheese, sprinkle your Italian herbs and your garlic. Close the flap.
~ Lightly cover the top of the chicken breasts with the chunky sauce. Drizzle the sauce with more mozzarella cheese, Italian herbs, and garlic.
~ Bake for 30min at 350
After the chicken has gone into the oven, put the water on to boil for the pasta. If you do this, your pasta noodles will be ready at the same time your chicken is done.
To plate: I put a little bit of pasta on the plate, covered lightly with spaghetti sauce, followed by the chicken on top. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
To get our veggie in, I serve a salad with this dish.
