Ingredients

• Pepper and salt for seasoning
• 4 chicken breasts
• 2 thinly sliced tomatoes
• 1 teaspoon each of dried oregano and dried basil
• 4 mozzarella cheese slices
• ¼ cup sun-dried tomato strips in oil
• 4 cloves minced garlic
• 12 divided basil leaves
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
•  ⅓ cup vinegar

Cooking Directions

• First of all, set the oven at 180° C to preheat it. Then you need to cut the chicken breast on the thick side. Be careful about not cutting all the way.
• Now you need to season the chicken pieces with pepper, dried herbs, and salt. Then use 1 teaspoon sun-dried tomato oil on all the breasts.
• Try to rub some seasoning in the pockets.
• Put 2 slices of tomato, 1 slice mozzarella cheese, 2 teaspoon sun-dried tomato strips, and basil leaves on the pockets.
• Then you need to use 3-4 toothpicks to seal the pieces.
• Take a skillet and add 2 teaspoons sun-dried tomato oil to heat over medium-high temperature.
• Then you can add the chicken to fry for 2 minutes. Fry both sides of the chicken to get a golden-brown look.
• You will need to mix brown sugar, garlic, and vinegar in a little jug. Then keep the mixture on the pan over the chicken.
• You should bring the chicken pieces to a simmer to get a thick glaze when you are stirring.
• Then you can keep the pan in the preheated oven. Start cooking for 10-15 minutes. Consider the cooking is done when the cheese will melt.
• Now you can drizzle with pan juices after removing the toothpicks.

Expert Tips

• You should use a sharp and thin knife for cutting the chicken pockets. While cutting, start from the thickest breast side. Be careful while cutting because you should not cut through all the ways.
• If you want to add more flavor in the chicken, use sun-dried tomato oil.
• You can serve the dish with sliced tomato and grated mozzarella cheese.
• If you want to store the dish, you can place it in the freeze.

Dos and Don'ts:

• If you want to add an extra flavor, you can use spicy homemade sauce.
• Try to cut the chicken breasts from the thickest side.
• Do not cut the chicken breasts all the way through because you need to leave a place for the melted cheese.
• You can use olive oil instead of adding sun-dried tomato oil.
• Keep the rest of the chicken pieces in a refrigerator to store them for the next day.
• You can serve the dish with a light green salad.
