Ingredients
2 large chicken breasts
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup fresh mozzarella (small balls or sliced)
6–8 fresh basil leaves
Salt & pepper to taste
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tbsp olive oil
For the Balsamic Glaze:
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (or air fryer to 375°F).
Slice a deep pocket into each chicken breast, without cutting all the way through.
Season chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Stuff with mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, and basil leaves. Secure with toothpicks if needed.
Brush with olive oil. Bake 20–25 mins or air fry 15–18 mins, until cooked through.
While cooking, simmer balsamic and honey until thickened into a glaze (5–7 mins).
Drizzle glaze over chicken before serving. Slice to reveal that gooey, melty middle.
