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.

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
