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 slightly smashed with a fork
- 4 small jalapeno peppers sliced (most seeds removed)
- 4 thick slices mozzarella or provolone cheese
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil grass-fed butter, unrefined coconut oil, or olive oil
- 1/2 cup dry white wine or chicken bone broth
- Handful of fresh parsley or basil chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Season the chicken breasts with oregano, garlic powder, sea salt, and pepper on all sides.
- Slice each chicken breast lengthwise to create a pocket without cutting all the way through.
- Stuff the chicken pockets evenly with cheese slices, jalapeno slices, and smashed blackberries. Secure with toothpicks if needed.
- Heat oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken until golden brown on both sides, around 4 minutes per side.
- Deglaze the skillet by adding white wine or broth, scraping up any browned bits for extra flavor.
- 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).
- Garnish with chopped parsley or basil before serving.
Notes
Notes: Feel free to adjust the spice level by adding more or fewer jalapeno seeds.
