Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 teaspoons oregano or Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• Sea salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 cup fresh blackberries, very slightly smashed with a fork
• 4 small Jalapeño peppers, sliced, most seeds removed
• 4 thick slices mozzarella or provolone cheese
• 2 Tablespoons avocado oil, grass-fed butter, green unrefined coconut oil, or olive oil
• 1/2 cup dry white wine or chicken bone broth
• Handful of fresh parsley or basil, chopped

Preparation

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Season the chicken breasts on all sides with oregano, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper.
3. Using a sharp knife, slice each chicken breast lengthwise to create a pocket—do not cut all the way through.
4. Stuff each pocket with one slice of cheese, sliced Jalapeños, and a spoonful of the lightly smashed blackberries. Use toothpicks to secure the openings if needed.
5. Heat the oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Sear the stuffed chicken breasts until golden brown on each side, about 4 minutes per side.
6. Pour in the white wine or bone broth to deglaze the pan.
7. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (73.9°C).
8. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or basil before serving.
