Salt and black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
For the Stuffing:
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

For the Topping:

Instructions:
Prepare the Chicken:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a bowl, mix shredded mozzarella, Parmesan, and minced garlic. Stuff the mixture into the chicken pockets and secure with toothpicks if needed.

Rub the chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Cook the Chicken:
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Transfer the chicken to a baking dish, top with additional mozzarella cheese, and bake for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the chicken is cooked through.
Garnish and Serve:
Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve warm with a side of vegetables, pasta, or a crisp salad.
Pro Tip: For an extra flavor boost, add sun-dried tomatoes or spinach to the stuffing!
