Mozzarella stuffed chicken in creamy tomato sauce is a perfect one-pan dinner to brighten up any weeknight. The chicken is filled with mozzarella, parma ham and sun-dried tomatoes, seared until golden and simmered in an ultra creamy tomato alla vodka style sauce. Simple, yet mouthwatering. Just make sure to top with some red pepper flakes and serve with crusty bread to mop up all of that delicious sauce. This meal will blow everyone away!
Stuffing chicken breasts is fun to make and the result is super flavorful. Cutting the breasts in half helps both sides cook faster and evenly, while the filling adds juiciness and a nice taste.
And, of course, that tomato pan sauce… it’s the key. Once the chicken is seared, we remove it from the skillet and it’s time to make the sauce. We sauté garlic, a shallot, tomato paste and vodka to boost and intensify the aroma of the sauce. Then we stir in some cream and Parmesan and turn everything into a flavorful, herb-infused sauce with hints of sun-dried tomatoes. Add cooked chicken to the sauce and let everything blend together. Super delicious, classic flavor that never get boring.
Besides being easy to make, these chicken breasts take only about 30 minutes to put together but look impressive enough for a dinner party.
