The term Hasselback has been around for awhile; usually for potatoes where you make slits in the potato, like an accordion, being careful not to slice the potato all the way through. Then you stuff the slits with bacon and cheese.
I made this and it was wonderful! I didn’t have basil leaves, but I loved it and so did my friends!
This looks so good… and after reading through the steps, it looks easier than I thought at first.
This looks delicious. I have never thought to stuff my chicken like this, but it’s definitely something I’ll have to do now!
I love chicken and I love that combo of tomato, basil and mozz! I can’t wait to try this
This was delicious! Very moist and tasty. I made an angel hair pasta side with similar ingredients to compliment the vegetables in the chicken. I think it is one of the best chicken breast dishes I have ever made. I had fresh basil, tomatoes, and oregano from the garden so it was extra special. Can’t wait until I make it again.
This looks great! We do make Hasselback potatoes- my hubs is a chef and we have an historic inn and all our guests love them- and we do have fresh basil from our garden… and we all love Caprese salad- so we are DEFINITELY making this soon!

INGREDIENTS:
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Sliced mozzarella cheese
Grape tomatoes; sliced in half
Fresh basil leaves
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
Salt and Pepper
2 teaspoons olive oil
INSTRUCTIONS:
Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, cut slits across the chicken breast about 3/4 of the way through being careful not to cut all the way through.
Depending on the size of your chicken breast, you’re going to want around 6 to 8 slits per chicken breast.
Stuff each slit with a slice of mozzarella cheese, half a grape tomato and a basil leaf.
Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish that has been coated with non-stick baking spray.
Brush each chicken breast with olive oil.
Sprinkle each chicken breast with salt, pepper and Italian seasoning.
Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for 30 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 160 degrees.
Note: The quantity for tomatoes, cheese and basil will depend on how many slits you make in the boneless chicken breasts.
