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
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Season the chicken breasts on all sides with oregano, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper.
- Using a sharp knife, slice each chicken breast lengthwise to create a pocket—do not cut all the way through.
- 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.
- 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.
- Pour in the white wine or bone broth to deglaze the pan.
- 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).
- Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or basil before serving.
