Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped ham, dried cherries, breadcrumbs, parsley, and Parmesan cheese to make the stuffing.
-
Butterfly each chicken breast by slicing it horizontally along one side without cutting all the way through, then open it like a book.
-
Season the inside of each butterflied chicken breast with salt and pepper.
-
Spoon a generous amount of the ham and cherry stuffing onto one half of each chicken breast, keeping it towards the center.
-
Fold the other half of the chicken breast over the stuffing to close it and secure with toothpicks or kitchen twine.
-
Place the stuffed chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish and drizzle olive oil over the top.
-
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
-
Remove toothpicks or twine before serving.
