How to Make Easy Australian Stuffed Chicken W Prosciutto Sun Dried Tomato

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Thinly slice 1 red bell pepper into 2-inch strips.
Thinly slice 8 oz cremini mushrooms.
Thinly slice 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes (oil-packed, drained).
Mince 2 cloves garlic.
In a small bowl, combine the sun-dried tomatoes, minced garlic, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil. Mix well.
Butterfly the chicken breasts: Cut a horizontal slit almost all the way through each breast, opening it like a book. Gently pound to even thickness if needed.
Spread the sun-dried tomato mixture evenly inside each chicken breast.
Place 2-3 slices of prosciutto, several red pepper strips, and a handful of sliced mushrooms inside each chicken breast.
Close the chicken breasts and secure with toothpicks if necessary.
Brush the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil.
Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish and bake for 15 minutes.
Increase oven temperature to broil and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the tops are lightly browned. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with your favorite vegetables.
