Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 slices pepper jack cheese
Filling
  • 1/2 cup blackberry preserves
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
Cooking Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil For searing
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Carefully slice each chicken breast lengthwise to create a pocket.
  3. In a bowl, mix blackberry preserves, balsamic vinegar, garlic, smoked paprika, black pepper, salt, and chili flakes.
  4. Stuff each chicken pocket with a slice of pepper jack cheese and the blackberry mixture.
Cooking
  1. Sear the stuffed chicken in olive oil on medium heat until golden brown on both sides.
  2. Transfer the chicken to a baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes, until fully cooked.
  3. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

For best results, ensure each chicken breast is of even thickness. Sear seam-side down first to keep the filling from leaking.
