How to Make Avocado Sun Dried Tomato And Mozzarella Stuffed Chicken Breast

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. Pound 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 oz each) to 1/4-inch thickness using a meat mallet.
  3. On each chicken breast, layer 2-3 slices of ripe avocado (about 1/4 of a medium avocado per breast).
  4. Drain sun-dried tomatoes (1/2 cup packed, oil-packed) and thinly slice. Arrange slices over the avocado.
  5. Top with 2-3 slices of fresh mozzarella cheese (about 1 oz per breast).
  6. Fold each chicken breast in half to enclose the filling.
  7. Wrap each stuffed chicken breast with 2 slices of prosciutto (about 2 oz total).
  8. Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.
  9. Place chicken breasts in the prepared dish.
  10. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  11. While chicken is baking, prepare the sauce:
  12. In a medium saucepan, heat 1/2 cup milk over medium heat.
  13. Add 1/2 cup chicken stock.
  14. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon of water and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch.
  15. Gradually whisk half of the cornstarch mixture into the warm milk and chicken stock.
  16. Stir until the sauce begins to thicken.
  17. Add 1/4 cup dry white wine, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, and 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard. Whisk to combine.
  18. Stir in 1 teaspoon sugar, 1/4 cup heavy cream, and the remaining cornstarch mixture. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens.
  19. Stir in 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley.
  20. To serve: Spoon sauce over the baked chicken breasts. Serve immediately with a fresh green salad.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
