Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F
After you have pounded your chicken breasts thin, evenly divide the basil, sun dried tomatoes and mozzarella between each chicken breast, placing the ingredients to the left side of the chicken breast.
Fold the right side of the chicken breast over the filling and secure with toothpicks, if desired.
Heat 1.5 teaspoon olive oil in a cast iron skillet and sear the chicken breasts on both side. Now, you can continue to cook the chicken on the stovetop until it is done OR transfer your cast iron skillet to the oven until the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
Another option is to skip the searing and just cook the chicken in the oven. Depending on the size of your chicken breasts this will take about 18-20 minutes. Just be sure to check the internal temperture has hit 165 degrees F.
Optional: Serve with zucchini noodles and more fresh basil or sides of choice. Great options would be pasta (if not keto), spaghetti squash, fresh spinach or brown rice (not keto).
