How to Make Mozzarella Stuffed Chicken Breasts

Start with a 425 degree preheated oven.

Spray an oven proof skillet, like a cast iron skillet, with nonstick cooking spray.

Then spray the chicken breast with the cooking spray and then sprinkle both sides of the chicken with Italian seasoning as well as salt and pepper. Place the chicken in the pan over medium heat.

Sear the chicken for about 4 or 5 minutes per side or until it has gotten a golden crust.

Remove the pan from the heat and add the butter, chicken broth, and cherry tomatoes.

Top the chicken with mozzarella cheese, crushed red pepper flake, and the remaining Italian seasoning. Add salt and pepper if needed.

Put the pan in the oven and roast for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked and the cheese is melted.

Remove the baked chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
