My family can’t get enough of this Pesto Mozzarella Stuffed Chicken Breast — let’s do this step-by-step, it’s so easy and delicious! 💚🍗 I start with boneless chicken breasts, cutting them lengthwise but not all the way through, creating a little pocket for stuffing. A light coating of olive oil keeps them moist, and then I add pesto (store-bought or homemade, both are fantastic!). Next, I sprinkle a bit of Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper, then stuff them with fresh mozzarella and roasted red peppers. This dish is a showstopper — perfect for impressing guests or treating your family! After folding the chicken, I secure it with a toothpick and spread a little extra pesto on top for added flavor. In the oven it goes at 350°F for about 25-30 minutes. The aroma is irresistible! This recipe is not just simple; it’s a gourmet meal that everyone will love. From my heart to your plate, you have to try this! ❤️ Download My Cookbook (Top Of Page) PESTO - MOZZARELLA STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 30 minutes Serves: 4 INGREDIENTS: 4 boneless chicken breasts (with a sharp knife, cut lengthwise into each breast; be careful not to cut all the way through) 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 1/2 teaspoon sea salt 1/2 cup pesto sauce (store-bought or homemade) 12 slices fresh mozzarella 1/2 cup roasted red peppers (sliced thin) 1/4 cup EVOO 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning INSTRUCTIONS: Preheat oven to 350°F.

Comment “SAUCE” and I’ll send you my beloved Sunday Sauce & Meatballs recipe! 🍝🇮🇹 It’s meatball day, and I’m thrilled to share the secrets behind my family’s treasured recipe, straight from Naples. We use fresh parsley, 85-15 ground beef, flavorful breadcrumbs, and Locatelli Pecorino Romano cheese—plus granulated onion and garlic powders for that extra kick! The trick my dad taught me? Keep your palms moist with warm water while rolling the meatballs to keep them tender. I simmer them in a bubbling sauce for two hours at a low temp to ensure they’re melt-in-your-mouth delicious. Buon Appetito, from my heart to your plate! ❤️ #meatball #sunday #authentic #antoinettesitaliankitchen

Today I’m tackling the most common questions about my Sunday sauce and meatballs! 🍝 As I roll these beauties, let me share the secrets that make them special. ✨ First up, do my meatballs fall apart? Absolutely not! I use 85-15 ground sirloin beef, which keeps them together without making the sauce greasy. That’s why they hold their shape! Now, let’s talk ingredients. Some wonder why I use a half cup of granulated onion powder in two pounds of meat. It may sound like a lot, but it enhances the flavor beautifully! For the sausage, I always use sweet Italian sausage, cutting them in half—not whole! When it comes to pork, I prefer country ribs, but thick pork chops work just fine if you can’t find them. 🌟 And for basil, I hand tear it to preserve its oils and flavor. As I roll my meatballs, I wet my palms every third one to keep them firm. I also use flat Italian parsley—the curly variety is for other recipes. And let’s not forget the wine! You don’t need an expensive bottle; a decent cabernet works great for cooking. 🍷 When cooking, I use my biggest pot to give the meatballs space in that bubbling sauce. Always stir gently with a wooden spoon so they don’t break apart! 🍽️ Here’s the meatball recipe you need: DOWNLOAD MY FREE MEATBALL RECIPE PDF (Top Of Bio Page) 🧑🍳 Meatball Ingredients: 2 lbs ground beef (85/15) 1 cup seasoned Italian breadcrumbs 1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped 1/2 cup grated Locatelli Pecorino Romano cheese Salt and pepper to taste 3 cloves garlic, chopped 1/4 cup onion powder 2 tbsp garlic powder 2 eggs Preparation: In a bowl, mix all ingredients gently. Wet your hands and roll meatballs into equal sizes (about 25-30). Place meatballs into the simmering sauce and cook for 60-90 minutes. These meatballs are ready to soak up that amazing sauce! 🍅 I’m thrilled to share this with you, and if you have questions, don’t hesitate to ask! From my heart to your meatball plate, let’s make cooking a joy! ❤️ #SundaySauce #meatballs #ItalianCooking #FamilyTradition #antoinettesitaliankitchen
