From: This recipe came from one of those recipe cards that Safeway distributes in their store. Ingredients:
2 chicken breasts
1/2 red pepper
olive oil
mozzarella cheese (shredded)
pesto sauce
How to:
Cut a slit in the two chicken breasts so that you can stuff ingredients inside. Cut the red pepper into strips and caramelize them (cook 'em) in olive oil in a skillet. Then stuff the inside of the chicken with pesto, mozzarella cheese, and red pepper.
Secure it closed at an angle with a couple of tooth picks, being sure the tooth picks are flush with the meat (so they don't keep the meat from being cooked well on all sides. Spread pesto on the outside of the chicken breasts. Heat oil in a skillet on medium heat. Cook the chicken breasts on medium heat (slowly so they cook all the way through). You can grill them too.
You can also microwave them for three minutes after cooking to be sure they are fully cooked inside, if you desire. Be sure to remove toothpicks and top with more mozzarella if desired, before serving.
