Ingredients
Scale:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 cup beef broth
1 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
2 tablespoons melted butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the sliced onions and sauté until they are soft and caramelized, about 10-12 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and thyme, cooking for an additional minute. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed onions, mozzarella cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix well until evenly distributed.
Using a sharp knife, create a pocket in each chicken breast. Fill each pocket with the onion and cheese mixture, packing it in well.
In a separate bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and melted butter.
Roll each st￭ chicken breast in the breadcrumb mixture until well coated.
Place the coated chicken breasts in a baking dish. Pour the beef broth around the chicken.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until cooked through and golden brown.
Once done, remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
