Corn and Tomato Stuffed Chicken Breast

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine the corn, tomato, and cheddar cheese.

Step 4

Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.

Step 5

Stuff each chicken breast with a generous amount of the corn and cheese mixture. Use toothpicks to hold the pocket closed.

Step 6

Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat.

Step 7

Once hot, add the chicken breasts and sear for 3 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Step 8

Transfer skillet to the oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the middle.

Step 9

Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes.

Step 10

Remove toothpicks and serve warm.
