Melty Blackberry Jalapeno Stuffed Chicken

Servings: 4

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees f.
  • Rub your chicken breasts with oregano, garlic powder, sea salt, and pepper to taste on all sides.
  • Slice each chicken breast down the middle lengthwise, but don’t go all the way through. Just enough to create a large pocket for your fillings.
  • Stuff the pockets evenly with your cheese slices, jalapeno slices, then using a spoon, add your slightly smashed blackberries.
  • Insert toothpicks if needed to hold everything together.
  • Heat your oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and carefully sear until beautifully golden-brown on both sides, about 4 minutes on each side.
  • Add the wine or broth to the skillet to deglaze and create more flavor, then transfer it into your preheated oven.
  • Bake in your preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or just until your chicken is cooked through to 165°F (73.9°C) as measured by a food thermometer.
  • Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or basil.
