Marinated chicken stuffed with mozzarella cheese
Prep Time 2 hours
Cook Time 30 minutes
Total Time 2 hours 30 minutes
Servings 8

Ingredients

  • 8 chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons each salt & pepper
  • 3 - 4 tablespoons dried oregano
  • 1/2 pound mozzarella

Instructions

  • Combine the oil, salt, pepper and oregano in a bowl and mix well.
  • Place the chicken in a deep container and pour the marinade on the chicken. Rub the marinade in the chicken.
  • Let marinade for 2 hours or overnight.
  • Heat an outdoor grill on medium heat.
  • Remove the chicken from the fridge and let warm up for 20 - 30 minutes.
  • Cook the chicken about 7 minutes per side.
  • Take off the grill and place on a cutting board.
  • Make a horizontal cut into the the middle of the breast. Make the cut almost all the way through but do not cut all the way through.
  • Meanwhile, cut the cheese in thick, approximately 1/4 inch, slices lengthwise.
  • Take the cheese and insert into the chicken cavity you created with the cut.
  • Place on a baking tray and cook in a 325 degree oven for 15 minutes.
  • This should provide a good melt on the cheese and cook the chicken all the way through.
  • Serve and enjoy!
