Ingredients

Keep scrolling down to the recipe card for a list of FULL ingredient amounts and instructions or click the “Jump to Recipe” button at the top of the page!

  • Chicken breasts – Skinless and boneless. You can use chicken breasts with skin on too, but I still recommend to use boneless breasts.
  • Tomatoes – Freshly chopped or even sun dried.
  • Asiago cheese – Romano or parmesan will work instead.
  • Parsley â€“ Freshly chopped. Other herbs such as basil or oregano can be used.
  • Roasted red peppers â€“ Homemade or store-bought.
  • Breadcrumbs – Italian, plain, or panko.
  • Salt and pepper – Season to taste.
  • Paprika – Smoked or regular.
  • Olive oil – Other types you can use are avocado, canola, vegetable, safflower, sunflower, or grapeseed.

How to make roasted peppers and asiago stuffed chicken breasts

  1. Prep: Preheat oven to 375 F degrees.
  2. Make Filling: Add all the filling ingredients to a bowl and mix everything well together.
  3. Prepare chicken: Using a sharp knife, cut a pocked in each chicken breast.
  4. Stuff breasts: Spoon a third of the mixture into each breast pocket and secure with toothpicks. Season the breasts on both sides with salt, pepper and paprika.
  5. Cook: Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in an oven safe skillet. Transfer the chicken breasts in the skillet and cook on both sides until golden brown. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and finish cooking the breasts until chicken is cooked through, about 15 minutes. Rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

How to tell when stuffed chicken breasts are cooked through

If you’re like me, you probably swear by an instant-read digital thermometer to test the doneness of your meat. It’s the best way to make sure your meat is cooked through perfectly- not underdone, but not dry.

Chicken, in a regular recipe, is safe to eat once it reaches an internal temperature of 165F. For this stuffed chicken breast recipe, you’ll want to look for 170F just to err on the safe side. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the breast. If it needs to be cooked longer, make sure to test a different spot when you’re checking the temperature again.

How to store leftovers

Transfer leftovers to an airtight container once the chicken has fully cooled to room temperature. They will last 3-4 days in the fridge.

To reheat, you can use a microwave or oven. If you use a microwave, I suggest slicing the chicken beforehand to ensure even heating.

To use the oven, preheat to 350F. Place the chicken breasts into a baking dish with about 1/4 cup water or stock. Cover the dish with foil, and reheat for 10-12 minutes or until the breasts reach an internal temperature of 135F.

Freezing

Your chicken to will last up 2-6 months frozen. Make sure the breasts have fully cooled down to room temperature before freezing. You can also freeze the prepped stuffed breasts before baking. If you freeze them raw, they’ll last 9 months in the freezer.

Make sure the chicken is stored in a completely airtight container. Whether raw or cooked, let the breasts thaw fully in the fridge before cooking or reheating.

    This was good. Though it needed more seasoning. In the filling and on the outside of the chicken. I might like it better without the breadcrumbs because they make the filling taste mushy. I saw someone say they might sun sundries tomatoes and I think that may help with less moisture and more flavor. Will make again will some tweaks.

    I plan to make this recipe over the holiday. What quantity of sun dried tomato should I substitute with since it does have a more distinct flavour?

      I would probably go with 1/4 cup.

    Sounds great – any reason why these couldn’t be prepared in the afternoon, refrigerated and then baked in the evening?

    Hey Jo,

    Hi Jo,
    I don’t usually comment on people’s blogs…however, I feel like I should seeing as how I absolutely LOVE many of your recipes. I have made this stuffed chicken recipe about 5 or 6 times now. It’s a real hit with my family, and is starting to be a staple. All members of my picky family love it! (I do hold the tomatoes)

    Just wanted to say thank you for compiling this blog and keeping up to date on it.
    Keep cooking and blogging!

    Jane
