quotidian recipes on Instagram: "Garlic Butter Mozzarella Stuffed Chicken Golden, juicy chicken breasts stuffed with melty mozzarella, garlic, and fresh herbs, then baked to perfection in a rich garlic butter sauce. It's an easy weeknight dinner that feels wonderfully indulgent. Ingredients 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts 8 ounces fresh mozzarella, cut into 4 thick slices 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon onion powder 1 teaspoon paprika 1 teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon black pepper 2 tablespoons olive oil 4 tablespoons unsalted butter 5 garlic cloves, minced 1 tablespoon lemon juice 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional) Extra chopped parsley, for garnish Instructions Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a pocket into the side of each chicken breast without slicing all the way through. Stuff each chicken breast with a slice of mozzarella, a sprinkle of parsley, basil, and a little Italian seasoning. Secure with toothpicks if needed. Season both sides of the chicken with the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 3–4 minutes per side, until nicely golden. Transfer to the prepared baking dish if your skillet isn't oven-safe. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and melt the butter. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the lemon juice and stir to combine. Pour the garlic butter over the chicken and sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese, if using. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the mozzarella is melted and gooey. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, then spoon the garlic butter from the pan over the top and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
